Middle East Energy Market Coverage

The Middle East has long been a major player in supplying the global market with natural gas and LNG and is now also becoming an increasingly important region on the demand side of the equation.

Our coverage of the Middle East’s natural gas and LNG markets enables clients to develop a deep understanding of the key developments in the region, as well as providing a short-term outlook on the region’s imports and exports, strategic advice and the supporting tools to assist clients with their decision making and business development strategies.

As a client, you will have access to forward-looking analysis that utilizes our proprietary data sets and robust forecasting methodologies, as well as the latest analysis, insights and data covering natural gas and LNG supply, demand, LNG and pipeline trade, pricing, and gas and LNG contract information.

In addition, as a client, you will also benefit from receiving up-to-date analysis of emerging trends, regulatory environments, and strategic assessments of corporate positions within the marketplace. Our content spans buyer/seller countries, key players, contractual terms, infrastructure assets and pricing.

Our regional experts utilise relationships with key players in the market to deliver reliable insights that other companies don’t have access to, allowing us to provide our clients with a unique competitive advantage.

Our coverage of the Middle East’s NGLs market includes short- and long-term analyses of regional supply and demand, shipping and prices (depending on the level of coverage), spanning the region’s LPG, ethane, condensate, naphtha and butane markets.

We specialise in integrating a deep understanding of the Middle East’s market into a global view of NGLs, which will benefit clients looking to gain specialist insights and independent analysis of both the Middle East and global NGLs markets.

On the LPG side, we analyse the position the Middle East plays in the global context, including a country-level, bottom-up approach to develop a regional understanding of global supply and demand dynamics. In addition, we also provide up-to-date comprehensive analysis of the key fundamental drivers across the Middle Eastern LPG market, as well as an in-depth view on shipping.

On the data side, we provide detailed projections of LPG supply, demand, trade and prices/price spreads based on assessment of key drivers and signals. This will benefit traders looking to develop trading and hedging strategies that are built on detailed fundamental research, as well as finance analysts seeking independent supply/demand analytics and price trends, midstream companies formulating future policy strategies, shipping companies following trends in LPG trade flows, and importers/petrochemical companies who are deciding on LPG procurement.

Our data spans condensate supply and imports (actuals and forecasts), naphtha imports and exports to the Middle East by grade (actuals and forecasts), prices and cracker maintenance schedule (actuals and forecasts).
