From its regional beginnings, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) business has transformed into a broad international industry spanning several continents. The production and liquefaction of gas, it’s shipping, and its regasification and use bring together diverse jurisdictions under long-term contractual arrangements and, increasingly, under short-term trading arrangements. This practical title features contributions by specialists in their fields on a range of topical subjects including structuring LNG projects, sale and purchase agreements, LNG trading, LNG shipping, finance, and politics. Together the contributors provide a rare guide to the legal, regulatory, political, and practical elements of the LNG chain. Whether you are a lawyer in private practice or from a national or international oil company, utility business, shipbroking or shipbuilding firm, bank, or energy advisory practice, this commercially focused new title will provide you with a holistic insight into the business of LNG.
