Platts Daily Spot LNG Price Assessments
How is spot LNG traded?
In the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market space, traditional patterns of trading are evolving fast. Where cargoes once
changed hands only through opaque bilateral deals, the market now exhibits open sell tenders for multiple and single
cargoes, brokered trades, cargoes sold in longer trading chains, and speculative trading positions taken up by nontraditional participants including banks. Over time, as in other commodities, long-term LNG contracts may adapt to spot
LNG price discovery, and will no longer be dependent upon weaker correlations to oil or piped gas prices. Upstream, an
increasing volume of non-associated gas supplies is breaking the production link with oil, while downstream gas demand
has broadened as a new fuel for transport and industry. Market pipeline prices of natural gas are delinking from oil prices,
and buyers and sellers are looking for price benchmarks that reflect the real world of shipped gas.
Is LNG really traded on A spot basis? Doesn’t the LNG industry rely exclusively on
long-term contracts?
LNG as a commodity has traditionally been sold under closed, long-term contracts. But the market is rapidly evolving.
A surge in new supply from diverse sources, the entrance of a variety of new market participants and shifting demand
patterns have driven the development of spot trade. Cargoes initially sold under long-term contracts now move into the
spot market, where buyers and sellers seek to achieve the best possible value for each cargo.
How can daily LNG spot price assessments be used?
Platts assessments can be used by anyone needing timely, independent spot LNG price information. Daily prices reflect
changes in value that occur every single trading day. Consistent and respected LNG spot price information supports
critical decision-making about cargo trade, arbitrage between regions, storing or transporting natural gas to markets;
investment in infrastructure projects, optimal production rates, processing margins and consumption levels. Platts spot
prices also facilitate hedging, transfer pricing, differential pricing and taxation.
Are there enough active spot market players to make for unbiased assessments?
Platts contacts active market participants from across the wide spectrum of the marketplace, including buyers, sellers,
brokers, producers and consumers, to ensure that the real tradable value of LNG is assessed. The LNG marketplace is
global and fast-growing, which demands a network of daily coverage of market activity in both Pacific and Atlantic basins.
Platts achieves global coverage of LNG news and pricing from market experienced editors based in the trading hubs of
Singapore, London and Houston. Platts submits its own price assessments to internal compliance for review, ensuring that
they are objective and market-neutral, and that assessment processes continue to be applied consistently. Platts has more
than 100 years of experience of publishing commodity prices and is fully independent from the marketplace.
Is there enough liquidity for spot assessments to be verified?
Market observers estimate that spot trade already represents about 20% of LNG volumes produced each year. This trade
includes bilateral deals, inter-regional diversions, tenders, chained cargoes and a variety of other transactions. The LNG
market demonstrates a greater proportion of spot trade than most commodities, which typically are supplied under a term
contract to spot ratio of 90:10. As much as 40 million metric tons (mt) of LNG, equivalent to 650 cargoes a year, are being
traded on a spot basis. As global supply volumes and market participation grow, spot market liquidity will continue to build.
Price transparency and market sophistication accelerate this process, by raising comfort levels behind each act of
spot trade.

What daily spot LNG price assessments does Platts publish?
Platts is the first to publish daily assessments for LNG delivered ex-ship (DES) in Japan/Korea, and also assesses daily
prices free on board (FOB) Middle East, DES West India, and FOB Australia. Platts also publishes daily Asia Pacific LNG
Carrier Day Rates (APDR) to help determine the price relationship between these assessed supply and demand centers.
Expanding from its Asian spot LNG market coverage, Platts launched daily spot assessments for delivery ex-ship DES
Southwest Europe (SWE) and Northwest Europe (NWE) on June 28, 2010.
What is the benchmark JKM?
Platts JKM (Japan/Korea Marker) is the benchmark daily assessment of the spot price for cargoes of LNG delivered exship
into Japan or Korea. Japan/Korea is the largest and most concentrated spot market for LNG in the world. JKM is a key
reference for calculating price differentials for every Asia-Pacific supply source and destination market. As a proxy for all
Asian LNG prices, JKM is also a leading indicator for global demand growth for LNG.

What are the SWE and NWE ASSESSMENTS?
Platts SWE LNG (Southwest Europe) is the daily assessment of the spot price for cargoes of LNG delivered ex-ship
into Spain or Portugal. Platts NWE LNG (Northwest Europe) is the daily assessment of the spot price for cargoes of
LNG delivered ex-ship into the UK and Belgium. Europe often competes with Asian-Pacific countries for LNG supplies
and the SWE and NWE markers are therefore key references for producers, consumers and traders of natural gas and
LNG globally.
What are FOB Middle East, DES West India and FOB Australia?
Platts FOB Middle East (ME) is the daily assessment of free on board cargoes loaded in Ras Laffan, Qatar or Das Island,
Abu Dhabi, representing the largest LNG production area in the world. DES West India represents a net forward from this
value, adding the cost of freight to FOB ME. FOB Australia is a netback from the JKM, subtracting the cost of freight. Both
of these make use of Platts Asia Pacific Carrier Day Rates.
What are ADPR and ADTR?
The Platts Asia Pacific Carrier Day Rates (ADPR) and Atlantic LNG Day Rates (ATDR) are daily assessments of the spot
charter rates for LNG carriers in the Asia Pacific and Atlantic region respectively.
Do spot LNG prices make the market too volatile?
An annual or multi-year contract price cannot capture the daily fluctuations in market value that occur in LNG, LNG
shipping, and associated piped gas and oil markets around the world. Long-term LNG contracts expose either the buyer or
seller to market price risk. Daily spot prices mitigate this risk by representing actual market value for product bought and
sold each day. In many commodities, annual or monthly averages of daily spot prices (called floating prices) are therefore
preferred for negotiating and settling long-term contracts, with locational, quality or customer-specific differentials
typically applied to the underlying benchmark. Daily prices do not introduce volatility – rather, they make inherent market
volatility both visible and manageable.
Will financial derivatives for LNG emerge?
As of September 2010, derivative financial (paper swap) LNG contracts have not emerged, although they are widely
anticipated due to the fast pace of market commoditization. Consistent, high-frequency spot cargo prices are typically
a pre-requisite for the development of financial derivative instruments, as greater price transparency helps financial
institutions and market players to understand and thereby manage the financial risks faced in the underlying
physical marketplace.
How are Platts LNG prices assessed?
Platts’ experienced market reporters interview active market participants from across the industry spectrum on a daily
basis. Confirmed spot cargo deals, firm bids/offers, current shipping costs and fundamental supply/demand conditions are
collated, tested and analyzed. Platts then applies its methodology to assess the tradable value of LNG.

METI approves restart of Tepco nuclear unit
Tokyo—Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has concluded
that Tokyo Electric Power’s 1.1-GW No. 5 reactor at the earthquake-hit
Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant is safe to restart, a ministry official said
Monday.
METI planned to present its assessment Monday to the country’s Nuclear
Safety Commission, the official said. It was the ministry’s first approval to
restart the No. 5 reactor since its automatic shutdown in the wake of a major
earthquake July 16, 2007.
The ministerial green light means Tepco now only needs approvals from
three local authorities—the Niigata Prefectural Government, Kashiwazaki City
and Kariwa Village—to restart the No. 5 unit. Once approvals from local
authorities are received, Tepco would proceed with a conditional restart of the
reactor to carry out final tests, which are expected to last about 45 days.
The No. 5 reactor would be the fourth to restart at the seven-unit 8.212-GW
Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant, which was totally shut after the
earthquake. Tepco restarted commercial operations at the 1.1-GW No. 1 reactor

Gassco to consider alternatives to pipelines
London—Norwegian gas grid operator Gassco has been told by the
Ministry of Petroleum and Energy to highlight alternatives to pipelines in
its analysis of gas transport options from fields on the Norwegian
Continental Shelf, it said Monday.
Pipelines now are the principal export method for Norwegian gas deliveries.
Gassco previously studied the possibility of LNG shipments from the Luva
field in Norwegian Sea as a full or partial export solution, but determined it
was a significantly cheaper solution to build a pipeline to existing gas
infrastructure, it said.

JKM up 15 cents on higher bids for October
Singapore—Platts’ October LNG Japan Korea Marker was
THE
MARKET $8.30/MMBtu Monday, up 15 cents with higher bids for the
period.
A North Asian buyer said his company could “purchase one or two cargoes
for October,” adding that he believes he could secure an October cargo for
$8.10/MMBtu.
“Offers are in the low-$8s/MMBtu for October cargoes,” he said.
A source said a Middle Eastern cargo slated to be loaded in mid-October is
being offered at $7.50/MMBtu on a free-on-board basis to North Asia. With a
freight cost to Asia of $1/MMBtu, that would be equivalent to an offer of
$8.50/MMBtu for a late-October delivery cargo.
The source added that there is demand for October cargoes from Japan’s
Tokyo Electric Power and South Korea’s Korea Gas. There could be more
demand from Taiwan’s CPC and China’s CNOOC for cargoes further out, a
trader added.
“I heard that CPC will call a tender for October delivery shortly and
CNOOC is also looking for an end-September-delivery cargo,” he said.
