The Global Gas Glut
Selected Slides for the South Australian NRC Inquiry
into Unconventional Gas (fracking)
Bruce Robertson BEc FFin 10 June 2016
Introduction
• All investment in the gas industry must be assessed in context of a global
gas glut
• Excess supply and faltering demand
• Globally the contract pricing mechanism is breaking down
• East Coast Australia is a high cost gas province
• SA onshore gas has even further to travel making it unviable in a post Paris
world
• SA must compete against cheap piped Russian gas and cheap LNG from
the USA
• The SA government runs a high risk of backing an industry that will be left
stranded in the short term

Global Gas Glut
• The global gas industry closed the 2015 year in a glut
with total nameplate liquefaction capacity of 308Mt
outstripping import demand for LNG of 245Mt by 26%

SUBMISSION INTO THE INQUIRY INTO HYDRAULIC FRACTURING BY THE NATURAL
RESOURCES AND MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Both my husband Ross and I are members of the Limestone Coast Protection Alliance (LCPA)
because, as South Easterners, we have become increasingly concerned by the implications of
possible fracture stimulation (i.e. fracking) being eventually allowed here in this region.
