BIDEN & QATAR | TOKYO FEELS THE STING

When Biden met Qatar's ruler on Jan. 31, it was a punch in the gut for Japan. Kishida had wanted such a visit.

But Tokyo had another headache. JERA had just ended a 25-year LNG contract with Doha. A wrong move?https://t.co/JMvCI8Hl7C

While it’s still unlikely that Russia will cut supplies to Europe, its biggest customer, the continent would require far more than diverted LNG cargoes from Japan to make up the loss

The governments of Japan and Qatar started the popular Producer-Consumer LNG conference 10 years ago to help boost cooperation in the industry

Japan is targeting significantly lower LNG consumption by 2030 as it restarts nuclear plants and boosts renewables

For Japan’s utilities, it makes sense to curb contracted supply, since they don’t want a glut down the road. Other LNG suppliers may also see contracts lapse https://t.co/wd9rf1fvcF

— Stephen Stapczynski (@SStapczynski) February 6, 2022

When the Fukushima nuclear plant suffered a meltdown in 2011, Qatar sent more LNG to Japan to make sure it had enough fuel to keep the lights on

Qatar may not be so willing to help next time

“I don’t even want to go to Tokyo,” where Jera’s HQ is located, said the Qatar official

— Stephen Stapczynski (@SStapczynski) February 5, 2022

Qatar became the world’s top LNG supplier thanks largely to Japan

The first Qatar shipment to Japan was delivered to Chubu Electric (one of the owners of Jera) in 1997

But now Japan wants to diversify supply, and requires flexible contracts. That means lower volumes from Qatar

Economies like Japan, China, and South Korea have some of the largest dependencies on LNG imports in the Asia-Pacific, but also have limited contingency options.

Kind of shocking just how little contract volume that Qatar has left with Japan, given Japan was the single largest #LNG market in the world up until last year.

— Ira Joseph (@ira_joseph) February 8, 2022

To me it suggests they’ve taken a longer power market position in Japan & so might not need all the #LNG. If JERA can ride out the next 2-3 years, they will be in much more of a buyer’s market to sign long-term deals starting mid-decade. Qataris want them to buy high right now. https://t.co/0mf0AZdGhS
