World trade in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) will grow at an annual rate of seven to eight percent over the next 10 years, a senior BP Amoco Plc executive said last week. "The large LNG projects that people talk about in Egypt, Iran and Indonesia will support this growth," said Anne Quinn, group vice president of power and gas at an industry conference in Paris. The projects include a $1 billion LNG plant due to be built near Alexandria in Egypt, two major LNG projects in Iran set to produce up to 15 million tons of gas by 2005, and Qatari plans to increase LNG production to 30 million tons from 13 million tons within the next four to seven years.
