This projection underscores a substantial regional imbalance in the LNG sector, which Inpex suggests will have major implications for industry capacity and global trade flows. While the Pacific coastal region faces a deficit, the report also considered dynamics across the Atlantic coastal region, the Indian Ocean coastal region, and the Asia-Oceania region.
