Western Canada LNG Netback Price Description: Much like our Costa Azul LNG Netback Price, our Western Canada LNG Netback Price is currently a theoretical price, because the LNG Canada liquefaction facility in Kitimat, BC is not expected to be in service until the middle of the decade. Mathematically, this represents the maximum netback from price in Asia and Europe, less the cost to transport LNG to those locations from Kitimat. We then compare these prices to those at AECO to determine the relative advantage or disadvantage of what LNG netbacks would be to local pricing.
  • What do NGI’s LNG Netback Prices represent?

    NGI’s LNG Netback Prices aim to measure the value of LNG sold on a Free On Board basis in the U.S. Gulf Coast, or at Cove Point, MD, Kitimat, British Columbia, or Costa Azul, Mexico, by starting with the futures prices of natural gas in both Asia and Europe, and deducting LNG shipping costs from those to determine the maximum netback price at each location for the next twelve months.

  • How could NGI’s LNG Netback Prices inform my business decisions?

    NGI’s LNG Netback Price, along with those included in NGI’s 12-month arbitrage curves to key markets in Asia and Europe, give an idea of how profitable it is for buyers of North American LNG to load cargoes and sell them overseas. The more profitable U.S. LNG is, the greater the demand for North American natural gas, which can have an impact on local prices as well. Access NGI’s LNG Methodology & How to Read Guide here.
