LNG has always been a sub-market products. Its consumption is growing by 10% annually, compared to an annual growth rate of more than 25% of pipeline gas. LNG is the world's fastest growing energy markets in the world. As European and North American natural gas reserves in the region have been close to or only slightly higher than the peak levels of production. Asian countries with scarce resources, the demand for natural gas rising rapidly, LNG demand is experiencing explosive growth. It is expected that from 2010 to 2011, the LNG industry has doubled compared with 2004. Prosperity in the face of the prospect of the industry, are increasing the scope of the global LNG production efforts. Over the years, plans to re-gasification terminals along the coast of the United States (LNG back to gas) has more than 50. By the end of 2002, there were 135 LNG transport vessels, will be increased by nearly two-fold in 2009. 　　　　But if the world's major energy executives talk will find that they are most worried about the future of the LNG market -- supply. Proposed projects in the United States, only six to eight can be expected to be completed before the year 2016. Last year, many vessels are difficult to find sources.

　　 PFC Energy consulting firm estimated that in 2012 the global supply 28% lower than forecast. Due to the rising costs of natural gas enterprises plagued by production delays and supply has been a problem. Development projects are often unpredictable, because of their special nature. LNG projects are usually difficult to weak infrastructure in the region. In addition, the rising price of steel and cement and other basic construction materials have pushed the cost of development. This makes people worry that LNG could lose its price advantage. In addition, there is a risk that supply will prompt policy makers to seek other options, such as gas-oil or coal gasification. But analysts said that LNG is almost no short-term alternative. At present, there are indications that the supply situation is improving, but have become more flexible. Even if the extension of production factors into account, the projected global LNG production capacity will increase to 50% in 2010. Transport ships shipments have increased, indicating production is to catch up with the pace of building infrastructure. Supply is the key to the future, with the supply of natural gas from Qatar more and more how to respond to the market. Before Qatar, in 2010 alone the increase in liquefied natural gas output will be used in the United States five times. PFC Energy consulting firm Gabriel? Wayne said : "These countries do change in the size of the LNG market. Qatar will be monitoring these market demand weathervane. The problem is that the supply will increase significantly impact the vitality of the market? Or the United States and Europe will support this level of growth. while still leaving room for more long-term development?
