10. 10 A Growing Role of LNG in Western Europe Gas Supply  In order to face this growing natural gas demand, supply from more and more distant reserves is required  In this context, LNG is an attractive option :  from Europe point of view  from the producers’ point of view

11. 11 A Lot of Already Committed and Potential LNG Supply to Europe  New development of LNG to Europe since 1999  New Committed Supply  Spain : LNG from T & T, Nigeria, Qatar, Egypt  Italy : LNG from Nigeria, Qatar  France : LNG from Norway, Egypt  Potential Supply  Spain : from Oman  Italy : from Qatar, Egypt  UK : from Qatar, Algeria  Other projects from Angola, Iran, Russia, Venezuela, …

12. 12 Growth of Committed LNG Supply  LNG supply to Europe in 2001 : 33.5 bcm (22 % of its imports)  Committed supply in 2010 : 60 bcm today New LNG committed supply for Europe since 1998 2010 horizon 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 19981999200020012002 Bcm/year Egypt Qatar Norway T & T Nigeria Algeria

16. 16 IV.Conclusion

17. 17  European market requires supply from more and more distant exporting countries and LNG will be part of that  LNG can supply markets which were formerly disconnected :  growing competition between Europe and the other markets (US, Asia)  growing competition between LNG exporting countries  Even if LNG trade globalisation generates arbitrage opportunities, this industry relies and will rely on long term contracts
