•
1. Domestic production – will always get priority 2. Offshore production – priority but more expensive and getting costlier as fields get deeper 3. Pipeline imports – strategic, large volume, long term contracts – will also get priority 4. LNG – imported, limited supply, higher prices

Even under the High Line Forecast, gas likely to only contribute around 7.5% of total energy supply, cf. ~15% for Japan and Korea currently Gas supply options

CBM fits nicely between 3 & 4. Freedom to grow by backing out LNG but can also take share from pipeline imports 8

Vietnam •
Vietnam has around 7 TCF of proven natural gas reserves as of January 2007 (OGJ, as reported by the EIA)
•
Most gas production is in the south and goes directly to power and industrial use
•
There is no significant gas pipeline infrastructure in the north of Vietnam.
•
CBM may be the solution to meet northern demand
