LNG outlook for North America appears less dire than forecast
During the next three years more than 82 million tonnes per annum, or about 10.4 billion cubic feet per day, of new LNG capacity will be commissioned - over half located in Qatar
The development of much of this Qatari capacity was sanctioned on the basis of significant volume being delivered to the US, and to a lesser extent to the UK.

BP gives update on quest for quality in varying LNG specs
Martin Josten and Stephen Hull, BP Exploration, and IGU Study Group on LNG Quality and Interchangeability
A key issue when arranging the destination of LNG cargoes is the gas specification of the receiving market, with the Asian markets generally requiring gas with a high calorific value, the US and UK using leaner gas and continental Europe more flexible in terms of the range of calorific values.
