Following the great success of 3rd annual Asia Gas Congress 2007 which attracted over 300 senior professionals all over the world and with more dynamic activities, the 4th Annual Asia Gas Congress 2008 taking place through 22-23 October 2008 at CROWNE PLAZA Park View Wuzhou Beijing, China, will continue to serve as a strategic platform to gauge the pulse of this ever growing industry and to actively engage with your potential partners, customers and counterparts.

At present, there is widespread anticipation that Asia is set to become a global force in the LNG market as we head towards 2010 with reported completion of various LNG terminals and infrastructures, and the emergence of potentially new consumer markets in the region. The LNG demand likely will outpace supply in the future. And the recent developments have created renewed optimismsurrounding development of LNG as an industry in China, Singapore, Thailand, India, etc.

Despite strong demand fundamentals, however, supply constraints are now affecting the business. We have to confront very difficult external factors posed by global LNG industry trends-a dramatic tightening in LNG supply, significant escalation in global LND prices and development costs and suppliers having ample choice of well credentialed potential LNG buyers for their projects.Although Asia gas demand is on the rise, supply is struggling to keep up. Even though countries like China and India have the potential to become significant importers of gas in the future, neither is fully committed to pursuing this energy source at current market prices.

Endeavor to succeed with a coherent LNG value chain strategy; China Decision Makers Consultancy is proud to present the unrivaled industry elite gathering the 4th Annual Asia Gas Congress and welcome you to address.
