On May 25th, 2016, SCT&E LNG (dba Monkey Island LNG) successfully converted its fixed-price natural gas supply MOU into a fixed-price natural gas supply agreement with a 20-year term from commencement of operations. The first of its kind from a U.S. LNG developer, SCT&E LNG has essentially created a 27-year hedge on natural gas by offering “FIXED PRICE LNG” to its offtakers.
The inspiration behind this innovative commercial structure was to provide clients with a solution to the instability of traditional, indexed LNG contracts that lack price certainty and restrict free trade of LNG. The Company has signed five MOUs and is negotiating two binding agreements tied to its fixed-price gas supply. Representing a radical shift in the LNG market away from oil- indexed and Henry Hub pricing, offtakers can now hedge against market fluctuations while diversifying their portfolios.
Monkey Island LNG’s 20-year fixed price LNG offering is changing the way buyers contract for LNG globally and will drive competition in the sector for years to come.
PETRONAS developed the first floating LNG facility in the world, the PFLNG Satu.
PETRONAS surpassed conventional practice to build and deliver a versatile floating facility capable of liquefying, storing and offloading liquefied natural gas. PFLNG Satu plays a significant role in PETRONAS’ efforts to unlock gas reserves in Malaysia’s remote and stranded fields previously deemed uneconomical to develop and evacuate.
SLNG’s vision is to be a world-class LNG terminal operator enabling the growth of the energy market and LNG hub in Singapore.

Since its 2013 inception, Pavilion Energy has quickly built its capabilities across the LNG value chain and continues to focus on developing regional demand.

Tangguh LNG, operated by BP on behalf of the Government of Indonesia, is the first fully integrated LNG project in Indonesia. The facility currently has two trains processing gas from Papua Barat offshore that deliver LNG to customers with long-term and flexible supply arrangements. The company is working with BP and the Government of Indonesia to develop a gas supply chain to meet the growing needs of future Asian gas markets and the emerging local gas demands of Indonesia.
