摘要

Even if the massive arrival of US LNG on the markets over the next few years will fundamentally change the configuration of world gas supply, a distinction must nonetheless be made between the short term and the long term, and between the European and Asian markets. On the European markets, only the US LNG produced by existing installations can currently be valued at a cost similar to that of Russian gas (between USD 5-6/MBTU) imported by pipeline. However, it will prove difficult for LNG from installations that have not yet been built (USD 8/MBTU) to compete with Russian gas. In theory, if oil prices increase to around USD 70/bbl, gas prices will automatically increase, making American LNG competitive. In view of the production costs, however, the Russians can easily grant their European clients discounts relative to the indexed contract prices. This spot market strategy already applies to two-thirds of the volumes produced. In economic terms, the Russians therefore have major levers, both short-term, by imposing prices lower than the indexed prices, and longer-term, by deterring investment decisions on future LNG trains. As proof, US exports of LNG to Europe in 2016 and 2017 accounted for less than 10% of total US LNG exports. Nevertheless, behind the scenes of this price war, the Europeans do not want to jeopardize their energy security by over-reliance on the Russian gas supply. The difficulties in launching the Nord Stream 2 project show that in spite of proven competitiveness and significant levers on margins, geopolitical problems make the Russian gas strategy vulnerable.
