US LNG: providing new pricing constructs and additional flexibility
• No upstream development required
• Clear and transparent regulatory environment
• Projects developed by utility / infrastructure companies
– Cost-based, HH indexed pricing to cover toll
– Greater flexibility

Atlantic basin: growing flexibility
• Strong supply growth
• US, a supply source providing flexibility
• Europe, a market providing flexibility
• Evolving role of buyers, sellers, portfolio-players, traders and infrastructure developers
• Growing liquidity: more flexible LNG available to more LNG players

Singapore LNG terminal
• Asia’s first open-access, multi-user terminal
• World class infrastructure – Current throughput capacity of 6
mtpa
– Expansion to 11 mtpa underway
• Wide range of services:
17
– Throughput
– Cool downs
– Storage and reloads
– Potential for LNG bunkering
– Potential for break bulking
– Potential for LNG trucking
Potential of Singapore as a LNG hub
Advantages • Singapore is already a hub of people,
hosting an active LNG community • Excellent geographical location and
potential to offer a wide range of LNG support services
• Strong government ideology for traded market
• Good regulatory framework • Existing physical gas and LNG
infrastructures (except storage) • Pipeline / LNG competition for long term
demand • Material LNG growth post 2022 • Secondary gas market reforms
developing 18
Challenges • Small gas demand in comparison to
overall regional gas/LNG trade • Pipeline gas and LNG demand
essentially met by long term contracts
Conclusions
• LNG trade will continue to show strong growth
• Asia will continue to be a key market for LNG, but the buyers’ needs are evolving
• The Atlantic Basin is further increasing the liquidity and flexibility available to the market
• The market continues to evolve and is meeting the buyers’ needs
• No consensus on the need for a LNG hub, its structure and timing
• Singapore is a good location to host an exchange, a trading community and provide a series of LNG support services…
• …but the underlying index of a LNG financial product will need to be based on a substantial physical spot LNG market to set the price of the global LNG spot market
