Geopolitical Influences on Global Gas Prices

Susan Sakmar, a visiting law professor at the University of Houston Law Center and board member at Flex LNG Ltd., joins NGI’s LNG Managing Editor Jamison Cocklin to discuss the state of the global natural gas market as summer nears an end. 

The two review geopolitical tensions and supply security issues that are likely to factor heavily into the liquefied natural gas market this winter heating season. The conversation covers the recent court decision impacting Rio Grande and Texas LNG projects that could have far-reaching impacts for other export terminals under development. Sakmar and Cocklin also discuss some of the key events that have shaped the market in recent years, and how they are likely to influence its future.
