(2010) Kaliski, Maciej; Krupa, Marcin; Sikora, Andrzej
The role of natural gas in the world's energy supply is growing rapidly. Since the autumn of 2008, the global LNG supply/demand balance has changed dramatically especially in the US. Forecasts showed, that in the future potential world demand for LNG will be higher then supply over about 35 bln m3. The most competitive region will be Atlantic Ocean market where there is estimation for available supply for ca. 150-160 bln m3 natural gas in liquid form and potential demand which will reach the level of even 225-230 bln m3 natural gas. In such circumstances Europe could "in reality" buy max. 80-90 bln m3 natural gas in LNG form without additional overpayment for such commodity. Recent announcements evaluate increase of the CBM, tight sand gas and shale gas production to 2020 by major players i.e. Sweden, Poland and Germany. These new players could or will ensure shale gas production growth in the next decade. Marekt situation is developing rapidly. While the LNG situation is changing dramatically and there are the factors which are additionally expected to the great influence on the LNG market. Authors discuss the LNG balance for the European market. Article focuses on possible influence of unconventional gas in Europe which will be evaluated together with LNG supply/ demand balance.
