Can the LNG industry do in the next eight years what it took the oil industry 40 years to do?

That means build as much capacity as the oil industry has to serve world markets.  Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) figures LNG investments will have to add 140 million tons of LNG productivity by 2012 to meet the expected demand . . .

Today 60 million tons of capacity has been committed, said CERA, and owners of gas in the ground not near markets are eager to monetize the gas reserves sitting idle.

Find out from these industry heavyweights:

• Pat Pope, vice president and associate general counsel, El Paso Energy Services

• Keith Meyer, president, Cheniere LNG

• Darcel Hulse, president, Sempra Energy LNG

• Colleen Taylor Sen, senior LNG advisor, Gas Technology Institute

• Leonard Crook, vice president, ICF Consulting

On this 90-minute audio CD the team shares their real-world experience and offers perspectives on finding success.

Topics include:

• The growing availability of low-price LNG worldwide and the advantages of existing terminals over greenfield projects.

• Challenging the contention that new onshore terminals cannot be built in the US and how Cheniere plans to establish North America's premier LNG gateway, with facilities on the Texas and Louisiana coasts.

• How Sempra Energy LNG is translating its strategic vision into projects on Louisiana's coast and in Baja California.

• How LNG buyer needs are changing, how LNG shipping costs are changing and how LNG pricing differs from market to market.

• Evaluation of new terminal proposals and which projects have the best prospects.

• Evaluation of potential LNG importers.

• The key to growing the market and how LNG producers will become more active downstream to ensure it.

• How the LNG "bubble" may be developing and early successful projects may be the ones that can surmount a range of hurdles.
