Did Japan just buy Aussie gas from China at half price?
CEO (CNOOC Limited) | Macro Business
China has become the world’s second-largest LNG buyer amid a surge in domestic gas usage. The cargo of 70,560 tonnes of LNG was shipped from the Hainan LNG Terminal, which is operated by std, to Chita near Nagoya, where Toho Gas jointly operates an LNG terminal with JERA, according to a source familiar with the matter. Most contracts for supply have destination clauses to prevent this kind of reselling and the fact that it was moved on at such a cheap price suggest it was spot cargo anyway. At the net-back price defined by the ADGSM, we should be able to buy our own gas instead at $6Gj. In short, in all likelihood various Asian markets can now trade Aussie gas, adding mark-ups along the way, at deep discounts to the same prices that we pay for the same gas.
