The first big slump was triggered in the second week of July by a substantial boost in Saudi production reported for June, which reversed 18 months of strict restraints by the kingdom under the OPEC/non-OPEC output reduction pact. Last week, crude took another knock from reports of a rising tide of supply…

LNG buyers are seeking to renegotiate their long-term LNG contracts by capitalising on the supply glut to overcome oil-based pricing, destination restrictions and “take or pay” clauses while transferring the shipping costs by pricing on DES instead of FOB basis. Successful renegotiations involving major gas producers suggest the potential for more renegotiation as suppliers trade off flexibility and lower prices in order to increase their supply quantity. With LNG projects streaming in from Australia and North America further decreases in LNG contract prices are plausible in the short term.
