Arbitrage in natural gas markets: Drivers and constraints
Presentation
Natural gas markets are characterized by an increasing role of liquefied natural gas (LNG), spot markets, along with deregulation, liberalization and growing competition in many national markets. Rising flexibility in LNG contracts’ destination clauses combined with large spreads across locations create the impression of large arbitrage opportunities. However, technical, contractual, and market restrictions, differences in LNG qualities, capacity limits in shipping, liquefaction and re-gasification, as well as high transportation costs are important barriers for any arbitrageur. Accountings for these costs and barriers, arbitrage opportunities seem to exist in particular from the low cost US to high cost regions in Europe and Japan. Since it is difficult to be satisfied with explanations by these simple economic incentives, further explanations are needed: capacity constraint (US liquefaction plants), high investment costs at the individual level, rational expectations and US government interventions, currently and in the future.

Strategic investment, multimarket interaction and competitive advantage: An application to the natural gas industry
Presentation
This paper presents a game-theoretic analysis of multimarket competition with strategic capacity investments, motivated by recent developments in international natural gas markets. It studies the competitive implications of heterogeneity in firm structure arising from asset specificity. A single-market focus confers advantage even in the absence of superior value or cost. Lower costs and a sharper organizational focus are self-enforcing in generating competitive advantage. The paper draws out the implications for core themes in strategy: the intensity of rivalry between firms, different routes to achieve competitive advantage and their interaction, as well as the degree of value capture across different markets. This establishes a novel connection between two of Porter’s generic strategies: cost leadership and focus. The model speaks to competition between pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the post Fukushima context of intensive competition on global LNG market.
