That means they have experience of building operational relationships outside the trading environment. We aim to bring that experience into the trading business and make a priority of strong relationships and flexibility – for example in the currencies we trade in and the indices we price against. We also have a growing LNG fleet of our own, with seven vessels at sea and six more orders on the way.
HOPES FOR THE FUTURE
The message I have tried to put over is a very simple one. Gas provides sufficient energy – there are many decades’ worth of reserves. Gas provides secure energy – whether domestic or imported, through pipelines or LNG. And gas provides sustainable energy – it has a huge role to play in a lower carbon world. We ask those who are meeting here in six months’ time to be mindful of that – and of our industry’s desire to be part of the debate – part of the solution – and part of the future.
