Research Report on China Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Import, 2017-2021 – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Research
Report on China Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Import, 2017-2021”
report to their offering.

According to the researcher, LNG production volume of China was about
136.9 billion cubic meters in 2016, up by 1.7% YOY

China’s conventional natural gas reserves and production volume are not
abundant which cannot meet the growing demands. Due to the limited
growth potential of domestic natural gas production volume, it is
inevitable to import natural gas. China’s dependence on imported
petroleum and gas keeps growing. In 2016, China’s LNG import volume was
26.15 million tons, up by 32.97% compared to 2015. In 2016, there were
17 LNG countries of origin for China, yet over 90% of imported LNG was
imported from 5 LNG countries of origin which had long-term contracts
with China.

According to the report, from Jan to May in 2017, China imported around
400,000 tons of LNG worth USD 166 million from the U.S., and the average
import price was USD 401 per ton. Although there were large gaps in the
import volume of LNG between U.S. and the top two import resources: 5.46
million tons from Australia and 3.11 million tons from Qatar, the U.S.
is still expected to become one of the major import resources with
further implementation of “Sino-US 100-Day Action Plan”.

China’s major LNG import resources include Australia, Qatar, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and so on. Australia is lower than America
and America is lower than Qatar in terms of average import price,
therefore, American LNG has an obvious advantage in price. From the
perspective of transportation distance, it takes 10-12 days for
Australian LNG while 15-20 days for Qatar to reach China. Australian and
Qatar have large advantages over America.
