Michal Meidan said : "Third-party access could increase import dependence as new entrants will want to import natural gas, especially if they can secure contracts based on current spot prices... as they will be more competitive than some of the majors' old term contracts," "So, more actors could actually lead to a higher reliance on imported gas,"

Michal Meidan said : “The creation of the pipeline company is a factor in the China-Russia negotiation in that there is considerable uncertainty about cost structures following its creation. But perhaps important is the uncertainty about China’s future gas demand and which source – pipeline or LNG – will be cheaper and more flexible for Chinese buyers and end users,”

hellenicshippingnews Friday, December 6, 2019 3:17:00 PM EAT

Michal Meidan said : “Slower demand growth and the focus on domestic production is reducing the call on imported gas while concerns about supply security and import dependence, in light of the US-China trade war, are leading the government to favour pipeline supplies over LNG. The reality remains, however, that China’s future demand will require both pipeline and LNG,”
