LNG
The global LNG market has evolved into a highly interconnected and increasingly flexible system, particularly with the growth of destination-flexible supply. Optimisation decisions now span multiple geographies, contracts, routes, and seasonal demand patterns, requiring structured and consistent analytical treatment.
The analytical capability demonstrated here focuses on systematic assessment of LNG placement and flow optimisation over a defined 12-month horizon for any selected year, allowing month-wise evaluation of supply, demand, and logistics interactions
The framework incorporates:
Liquefaction plants and contract structures
Import terminals and regional demand patterns
Seasonal demand variations within the year
Shipping routes and logistics constraints
Forward demand trajectories and upcoming capacity additions
By retaining a consistent monthly structure, the same framework can be extended across multiple years through successive scenario evaluations, enabling comparison of alternative strategies over longer horizons without altering the underlying model logic.
Publicly available data is used for illustration, with the emphasis on demonstrating how complex LNG systems can be organised into a coherent and extensible analytical framework.
Illustrative explorations
Selected analytical explorations may be added over time to illustrate the application of this framework under representative assumptions.
