The LNG market seems to be going through a four-phase transformation process
8The phases are
-- The established model
-- The Cheniere model
-- The Equity/Cost model
-- The Trading or Merchant model
8Lenders are now looking carefully at the last model and a flow of funds to this kind of an arrangement is now anticipated. Eventually, this will negate the need for long-term contracts and enable full market flexibility. 
8Figuring out the right model has become important as an additional 150-170 mtpa of LNG capacity is required by 2030 which means that an estimated $150bn in investments is needed between 2019-2025 in liquefaction, associated facilities and ships. (assuming a cost of $600/MT + associated infrastructure costs and ships). 
8Over 6 years this equates to $25 billion/year. To ensure financing of such volumes, a change in the current business model has become all but inevitable.

The website carries here details of a unique and non-intrusive end-to-end pipeline internal diameter mapping technology that is projected to change how we look at issues connected to corrosion.
8A pulse of pressure is induced in a pipeline by using the operation of a fast-acting valve closure in the flowing line or by the rapid opening and closing of a bleed valve on a blocked line. The valve closure creates a pulse (similar to a fluid hammer effect) that travels through the medium in the pipeline at the speed of sound.
8The magnitude of the pulse and the pressure response of the pipeline from the induced pressure pulse as it travels along the pipeline are measured using a high-fidelity, ultra-high resolution pressure transducer and data logger.
8After processing the data using proprietary algorithms and software, the deposit profile is “mapped.” And defects, if any found.
8A major benefit of the system is that the survey can be used on live pipelines with little or no production disruption. Analysis requires one day under ideal conditions for a preliminary report and a week for final reporting.
