报告简介

East Asia is gearing to change its dominant oil indexed long term contracts to more flexible hub (spot) indexed contracts for its LNG and gas imports. Given that it is an ongoing process and few attention has been paid by academia, studies on this topic are very limited. This topic, however, is compellingly needed to make informed decision by the gas industry and policy makers. Since East Asia accounts for one quarter of global gas demand and more than 60% of LNG trade, the topic is important for the world as well.

This presentation will explain the motivation, progress, challenges and research questions raised from the transition of gas pricing in East Asia. It starts with an introduction of gas pricing mechanisms and why East Asia starts this transition, how important is the topic and what the key research questions. Next, it will explain how selected issues, such as impact of oil indexation to hub pricing, low oil prices and China’s uncertainties have been addressed, using a world gas trading model. Studies to address issues such as Asian Premium, gas bible and risk spillover with econometrics will further be described. The presentation will conclude with highlights of issues for future investigation.
