The hyperscale data centre boom sweeping Asia is generating materially divergent outcomes for LNG demand across the region, with Southeast Asia emerging as a compelling new demand driver while South Asia remains structurally out of reach for gas, according to new research from Wood Mackenzie.
The Barrier Pressure System prevents atmospheric leakage at LNG loading arm swivel joints, improving seal integrity, operational availability, and environmental performance while enabling continued loading under controlled conditions.
Hosted by Thailand's Ministry of Energy, Gastech will convene policymakers, regulators, energy producers, infrastructure and technology providers, investors, traders, and utilities from across the global energy value chain to explore how energy systems can evolve to meet rising demand while strengthening energy security and supporting long-term economic development.
Global gas demand reached a record 4202 billion m3 in 2025, while investment in diversification, LNG infrastructure, and storage helped the global gas system absorb a major 2026 supply shock far more effectively than in 2022, according to the 2026 Global Gas Report by Snam and the IGU.
Recent Wood Mackenzie’s analysis warns that European gas storage at a historically low level, combined with renewed Strait of Hormuz disruption, has driven spot prices more than 50% above their June lows and placed winter 2026/27 supply security at risk.
Marcin Chojnacki, Vice President, Sulzer Electromechanical Services, looks at the large motor challenges that the LNG sector is grappling with, best practices for boosting uptime, and more.
Energy losses often start with contamination. This article explains how advanced filtration helps energy producers reduce fuel use, improve heat transfer, support cleaner combustion and protect catalyst performance turning contamination control into a practical strategy for lowering energy consumption and improving operational efficiency.
Gastech 2026 will take place in Bangkok, Thailand from 14 – 17 September 2026, uniting global decision makers and energy leaders to address urgent supply security and system resilience priorities amid mounting geopolitical instability.
MSA Safety outlines how gas detectors, wearable devices, and monitoring platforms can provide real-time insights into worker safety, enabling faster decision-making and more proactive risk management.
Sheila Contreras, Business Manager, and Fabiola Vasarri, Operations Manager at DNV Industrial Services explore how the Middle East conflict has caused an LNG boom in the US.
The global liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry is entering a decisive phase of transformation. After years of rapid expansion, the focus is shifting from growth and large-scale investment to efficiency, flexibility, and competitiveness.
