All Change for the Global LNG Market?

May 16, 2011 - PRLog -- From the recent events in Japan, to the increased environmental concerns about shale gas production, and energy demand in the Caribbean, numerous questions are being asked about the potential changes ahead for the global LNG market.  The World LNG Series: Americas Summit, hosted from 23-26 May 2011 in San Antonio, Texas, is the place to find the answers.

The World LNG Series: Americas Summit for ten years has been the only international LNG event in the Americas which sets this market in a global context by bringing major suppliers to the region, allowing senior executives the chance to discuss key challenges and look for solutions together.  Sponsored and supported by 15 leading industry players, the 2011 edition is expected to bring over 200 delegates and 45 speakers to the event, including: Alaa Abujbara, COO in Commercial & Shipping, Qatargas Operating Company Ltd; Dwight Thompson, Director, ConocoPhillips’ Global Merchant LNG; Rodrigo Vilanova, Gas & Power Trading Manager, Petrobras America Inc; Bill Wince Jr, Vice President, Transport & Business Development, Chesapeake Energy.

CWC’s Director of Conferences Tracy Clark remarked, “There are so many questions as a result of recent global events that need answers, from the impact Japan’s nuclear situation will have on LNG in the Americas to how small scale LNG technology will potentially meet energy demand in the Caribbean. LNG has a superb line up of elite professionals from around the world to share their views so that these answers can be found.”

Amongst other topics on the agenda this year, the focus will be on liquefaction, re-export and other changing business models in the Americas LNG business allowing participants to develop their company strategies in line with changes within the industry.

World LNG Series: Americas Summit runs from May 23-26 at the Marriot Riverwalk, San Antonio. Visit www.cwclng.com/americas or contact Tyler Forbes: + 44 20 7978 0061 lng@thecwcgroup.com
