Since the first edition of this best-selling title in 2008, the international liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry has shown a rare capacity for innovation and change. Despite this, there was no predicting the nature and full extent of the sector’s transformation since the book’s last edition in 2017, and this fourth edition has been updated to take into account the rapidly shifting arrangements and participations across the international LNG business.

This fully revised new edition features contributions from leading energy companies, institutions and academic bodies, as well as consultancies and law firms, and each of the writers is a specialist in their field.

Topics covered have been expanded for this fourth edition and chapters span all relevant commercial, political, regulatory and legal issues. They also examine the effects of the energy transition’s initiatives and innovations, including:

• carbon-neutral or ‘green’ LNG
• LNG and hydrogen
• the geopolitics of LNG
• structure and integration, and
• the principles of price formation

Whether you are a lawyer in private practice or from a national or international oil company, utility business, ship broking or ship building firm, bank or energy advisory practice, this commercially focused title will provide you with a unique, practical guide to today’s international LNG business, while offering thoughtful insights on what the future may bring.
