A CSIS commentary asks whether major gas exporters will form an OPEC-style cartel, noting the Gas Exporting Countries Forum has existed since 2001 without acting like OPEC. The author argues that the growing share of short-term LNG trade and amortized LNG capacity make coordinated supply management more feasible.
The piece concludes that prospects for success remain dim.
A coordinated gas cartel would be a longer-term supply-side factor for gas prices, which feed the energy costs behind feed production. As an opinion piece with no new policy action, it is unlikely to move prices now.
