Funding the Fuel of the 21st Century
A PFI Market Intelligence Report
Liquid natural gas (LNG) is set to be the principal fuel of the 21st century. However, just like the coal and oil industries before it, the LNG sector first requires massive investment. Not just to fund gas extraction, but to pay for new fleets of container ships and regas terminals as well. This new supply chain infrastructure is a pre-requisite because most major markets for LNG are situated so far from the big gas deposits.
The geographic location of gas deposits also prevents the international oil companies from funding this capital expenditure on their balance sheets. Instead, they must partner with national oil companies (NOCs) who don't themselves have the necessary funding. So the NOCs require debt to back their commitment - a lot of debt.
Now Project Finance International has set out to quantify the size of this opportunity in LNG Finance: Funding the Fuel of the 21st Century. Because we're the very first to do so, this 150 page report brings you a truly unique data set.
First we assembled details of every LNG deal that's been done or announced across the industry - going right back to 1994. Then we crunched the numbers, compiled the findings, and used this data to analyse both the current structure and future development of the market for LNG finance.
So LNG Finance: Funding the Fuel of the 21st Century will tell you everything you need to know about the project finance opportunities in LNG. How much money has already been raised - how, by whom and for whom? How much more funding is needed, and for what? Where will the future deal flow come from? What are the attendant risks and opportunities for borrowers and lenders? What's the best way to structure new deals? How can you get your deal properly rated?
Published in October 2005, LNG Finance: Funding the Fuel of the 21st Century is a comprehensive and truly original analysis of the industry. Remember: it's not possible to get these numbers anywhere else, so make sure you're project finance professionals have this essential resource.
