Overview

At ORB, we are deeply committed to securing a reliable and diverse supply of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to meet the growing energy demands of the future. Through strategic partnerships and a robust, forward-thinking import network, ORB ensures flexibility, efficiency, and sustainability in LNG procurement and delivery. Our global reach enables us to tap into major LNG markets, enhancing our ability to respond to market fluctuations while maintaining supply security. As the global energy landscape evolves, ORB is continuously positioning itself at the forefront of innovation and infrastructure to support our LNG import channels.

Key LNG Supply Sources

ORB secures LNG imports from a broad spectrum of regions, chosen for their supply stability, cost-effectiveness, and strategic importance. Our global LNG supply network spans several critical regions, ensuring that we are well-prepared for the energy challenges of tomorrow. The following key suppliers are integral to our long-term strategy:

1. United States

The U.S. is emerging as one of the most dynamic and competitive LNG exporters globally. ORB has strategically aligned with U.S. suppliers to capitalize on the rapidly expanding liquefaction capacity, potentialy from the Plaquemines, Golden Pass, and Rio Grande projects, slated for significant capacity expansion. This allows ORB to benefit from competitive pricing, flexible contracts, and a reliable supply of LNG.

2. Qatar

Qatar remains a cornerstone of ORB's LNG sourcing strategy, thanks to its status as one of the lowest-cost producers globally. Qatar’s North Field East and West projects, projected to dramatically increase output by 2028, can provide ORB with long-term, secure, and affordable LNG supplies, making Qatar a critical partner for our future energy needs.

3. Australia

Despite some recent challenges in output reliability and rising operational costs, Australia continues to be an essential part of ORB's LNG potential portfolio. Our potential partnerships with Australian suppliers ensure supply redundancy, and we are actively monitoring developments in the region to maintain stable, long-term procurement strategies.

4. Russia

Russia, through its Arctic LNG 2 project, continues to play a crucial role in ORB's LNG strategy. While geopolitical risks and sanctions present challenges, we maintain a flexible approach, closely monitoring the situation to ensure continuity in supply or the transition to alternative sources, as necessary.

5. Africa

Emerging African LNG producers, particularly in Nigeria, Senegal, and Mozambique, represent both opportunities and risks for ORB. While political instability remains a concern, these nations offer significant potential for growth in LNG production. ORB is committed to managing the inherent risks while leveraging these emerging suppliers to diversify its LNG portfolio.

Flexibility and Risk Management

At ORB, we understand the importance of balancing long-term stability with short-term market opportunities. Our LNG strategy incorporates long-term supply agreements with established, trusted partners, ensuring reliability while maintaining the flexibility to capitalize on spot market opportunities. By adopting this dual approach, ORB minimizes exposure to supply chain risks, price volatility, and geopolitical disruptions. This dynamic approach allows us to adjust quickly to market conditions, protecting both our supply integrity and cost competitiveness.
