This article is the second in a three-part series examining the evolution of long-term LNG sales contracts. The first part of the series addressed trends and issues in the 1960s and 1970s. In this issue the author highlights some of the key features of such contracts in the 1980s and 1990s, many driven at least in part by the rise in project financed liquefaction facilities and the increased number of players in the market. The final part of this series will address trends and issues in the 2000s.
