The International Energy Agency (IEA) has projected a 120 billion cubic metre deficit in global LNG supply between 2026 and 2030, driven by geopolitical instability. Recent data reveals that the Middle East crisis has already resulted in a 15% shrinkage of global LNG supplies due to the ongoing conflict. IEA energy analyst Gergely Molnar noted that tight gas markets are now expected to persist longer than previously anticipated. To address these shortages, Norway has approved ConocoPhillips' plans to develop projects in the Greater Ekofisk area to boost gas flows. While these Norwegian developments aim to support European storage targets, analysts warn that the quantified supply gap will maintain upward pressure on prices. Consequently, market participants remain focused on how new infrastructure can offset the prolonged period of market tightness.
