Global capital expenditure in the liquefied natural gas sector will more than double to around $228 billion in the 2013-2017 period, compared to the previous five years, consulting firm Douglas Westwood said in a statement.
Global capital expenditure in the liquefied natural gas sector will more
than double to around $228 billion in the 2013-2017 period, compared to the
previous five years, consulting firm Douglas Westwood said in a statement.
It said the increase in capital expenditure includes onshore and offshore
projects to liquefy gas for export, import terminals to regasify LNG and LNG
carriers for transporting the fuel, with
Australasia
and
North
America
bringing most of the new supply in to the market.
LNG liquefaction projects will drive expenditure at an estimated $143 billion,
while spending on import terminals is forecast at around $50 billion, and LNG
carriers at around $35 billion, it said.
"Spend[ing] will peak in 2015 and decline slightly in 2016 and 2017. This
is due to the surge of Australian LNG export projects reaching
completion," Michelle Gomez, author of the firm's World LNG Market
Forecast said.
The
Middle East
, one of the world's top LNG exporters, will see
very little expenditure in the 2013-2017 period, while Australian LNG spending
will fluctuate, Douglas Westwood said.
