Wednesday, 06 July 2016

Overstating its optimism, Gazprom has suggested China’s gas demand will exceed 260 Bcm in 2016 and edge close to 300 Bcm/year by 2020. Actual figures show a cautious recovery, with demand up 0.3 million tons, or 27%, to 1.43 million tons y-o-y in May. South Korea, in contrast, saw a 5.8% decline in LNG imports last month – the fifth month in a row of y/y declines.
