Introduction
In the beginning of 2000s, the three principal markets (United States, South-East Asia and Europe) faced stagnating domestic production alongside with growth in local demand for gas.
Growing demand for imports favored suppliers allowing them to set their terms. The main pricing principle was long-term indexed contracts where the price of gas was set based on the cost of alternative fuel, such as oil products. The long-term contracts and take-or-pay obligations were explained by the need to make large investments in upstream.
The gas supplies were mainly delivered via pipelines as LNG capacities were limited.
But by the end of 2000s the situation has changed. Technological breakthrough in the US added to reserves available for production large deposits of shale gas. Intensified exploration around the world led to discoveries of new perspective regions with large reserves.
Over 10 years period LNG-liquefaction capacities more than doubled. Falling demand as a result of the global economic downturn and increasing supply turned seller’s gas market into the buyer’s gas market
As a result, customers started to set terms on the international gas market.
This situation may be quite challenging even for the major gas companies. One of them is Royal Dutch Shell. This paper reveals factors affecting economic efficiency of the company and natural gas industry of the whole country.
