JOGMEC surveys spot LNG cargoes bought by Japanese utilities and other importers, excluding cargo-by-cargo deals linked to benchmarks such as the U.S. natural gas Henry Hub index.
It only publishes a price if there is a minimum of two eligible cargoes reported by buyers.
The following table lists the monthly average prices in
mmBtu for contracted and arriving spot LNG cargoes. Prices are
converted to delivery on an ex-ship basis.
