n recent years,domesticgasproduction inmany consumer nations
hasdeclined,prompting a search for alternative sourcesofgas
supply. Furthermore, inmany countries,gasdemand is forecast
to increase substantially as a consequenceofpopulationgrowth and a
shift in the energymix from coal togas.Consequently, LNGwillbe a key
solution to ensuring futuregas supply formany nations.However,due to
sustained lowoil andgasprices, there havebeen concerns regarding the
economic viabilityofmany LNGprojects.Asian LNGdemand is expected
