India and Japan are amongst the largest consumers of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), which are hunting the world for spot cargos and endeavoring to negotiate new supply contracts due to stiffening competition in a tightening marketplace. India, whose rapidly emerging economy is fueling energy demand, has begun to buy spot cargos of Liquefied Natural Gas to supplement contracted supplies.
 
In spite of booming construction plants for freezing natural gas into Liquefied Natural Gas, supply is far behind the demand for it. This is, partially, due to a decline in exports from Indonesian suppliers.
 
Inadequacies of capacity for converting LNG back to normal gas for consumption, plus other problems due to differing gas qualities among regions are also causing supply problems for both India and Japan. According to Keiji Takemori, who’s GM with Energy Resources Development at Osaka Gas- 2nd largest utility in Japan, “LNG market, at present, is a market of a seller”.
