            Prices do not include costs to then liquefy the natural gas and or shipment costs under LNG carriers
            from port of loading to port of destination and offloading LNG from LNG carriers to floating storage
            and regasification units associated with the final selling price of Liquefied Natural Gas.We also use
            JKM (Japan Korean Marker) index pricing for the Asian markets.


            LNG


            Liquefied natural gas or LNG is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4) that has been converted to
            liquid form for ease of storage or transport. Liquefied natural gas takes up about 1/600th the volume
            of natural gas in the gaseous state. It is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive. Hazards
            include flammability after vaporization into a gaseous state, freezing and asphyxia.


            The LNG process: The gas is first extracted and transported to a processing plant where it is purified
            by removing any condensates such as water, oil, mud, as well as other gases such as CO2 and H2S.
            LNG is finally stored in storage tanks and can be loaded and shipped.


            LNG is cost efficient to transport over long distances where pipelines do not exist. Specially designed
            cryogenic  sea  vessels  (LNG  carriers)  or  cryogenic  road  tankers  are  used  for  its  transport.  LNG  is
            principally  used  for  transporting  natural  gas  to  markets,  where  it  is  regasified  and  distributed  as
            pipeline natural gas. It can be used in natural gas vehicles, although it is more common to design
            vehicles to use compressed natural gas. Its relatively high cost of production and the need to store it,
            in expensive cryogenic tanks have hindered widespread commercial use.
