is a queue of LNG supply projects today waiting to

Questions to be addressed include:
Reduction of the LNG chain costs; contribution of operators, contractors and equipment suppliers
In a durable environment of low gas price, it is becoming increasingly important for the LNG industry to reduce its development costs; simplification of design, adoption of new processes, reduction of construction costs, changes in EPC contractual terms, etc. We have seen already the pace of new projects FID slowing down with a significant risk of LNG supply shortage in the near future.
