Global LNG - Asia prices weighed by additional spot supply
Asian spot prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG) were weighed down this week by a supply glut as more spot cargoes flooded the market, while demand growth was muted by signs of a mild winter in Northeast Asia.

Prices for December delivery are estimated at about $5 to $5.20 per mmBtu, down about 20 to 40 cents per mmBtu from the previous week, they added.

A company spokeswoman said Pavilion evaluated scheduling and other commercial matters and took the decision not to lift the cargo in coordination with the supplier.
Supply was ample with several LNG plants offering cargoes this week.
Angola's LNG project offered a cargo for delivery in January to as far as Indonesia, while Australia's Ichthys and Papua New Guinea LNG plants offered a cargo each for December, sources said.
Indonesia's Tangguh LNG plant, which is operated by oil major BP, also offered five cargoes for delivery over the first quarter of next year, sources added.
Some buy tenders from Thailand were finalised with PTT's Singapore trading unit awarding a tender to buy more than 10 LNG cargoes for delivery over a year from March, 2020, a company official said.
State-run Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has awarded its first spot tender to import LNG cargoes for delivery in December this year and in March next year, industry sources said.
