Jan 14:
Shell's Hazira LNG terminal has suddenly gone dry. 8Only one vessel, booked by ArcelorMittal for its steel mill is currently unloading its cargo.

LNG market in complete tizzy: $100 million arbitrage opportunity on a single cargo now
Jan 13: The global gas market is in a complete tizzy 8A January 2021 cargo was sold by Exxon at ~$35/MMBtu or >$200 boe. This is an unheard-of rate 8Then again, on January 11, 2021, an al time high JKM price of $28.2/MMBtu was established. 8Japanese power prices are at $400/MMbtu, a scale never seen before. 8The arbitrage opportunities between Henry Hub and Asian prices is incredibly massive, and GAIL can make the biggest killing ever, except for the fact that most of its US cargoes are already fully tied up 8The US cargo value is a mere $10.8 million and by the time it reaches Asia the value goes up to a massive $112.8 million. 8A cargo can yield an arbitrage of an incredible $100 million. 10 cargoes and you make a billion dollars. This is unbelievable economics. 8PLL can very well take its oil price linked cargoes out of RasGas and sell it at JKM rate and make a whole lot more money than it can by processing that cargo through its Dahej terminal. This looks like a once in a lifetime opportunity. 8LNG cargo rates have hit the ceiling too. With that kind of arbitrage available, the spot cargo rate is close to 0.5 million a day. 8European storage levels have plummeted given the huge arbitrage available between European and Asian prices.

Spot LNG at record high: LNG supplies to India crash
Jan 13:
The line-up of LNG vessels coming into India suddenly looks far shorter than before. 8Why is that so? 8It is quite possible that spot cargoes have completely dried up, now that spot rates are at $20/mmbtu. 8And only term cargoes, at crude linked or Henry Hub linked pricing, are coming in. 8According to studies made, Indian appetite for absorbing incremental gas at large enough volumes is at a price range of around $6-7/mmbtu, beyond that point, its appetite wanes. 8At $20/mmbtu JKM price, there will be zero buyers for gas.
