India imported record 27 mt LNG in 2024: Shell
- India imported a record high of 27 million tonnes (mt) of LNG in 2024, with a 20% YoY growth.
- The increased imports are driven by higher power demand due to hotter weather and the need to increase natural gas supply for power-generation, cooking, heating, and industrial purposes.
- India is focused on building natural gas infrastructure and aims to add gas connections to 30 million people over the next five years.
- With falling domestic production, rising demand, and the expectation of increasing LNG supplies, India is projected to become the world's third-largest LNG importer by 2032.

Shell Sees LNG Boom Through 2030
- Shell expects global LNG demand to increase through 2030, with significant growth in all scenarios modeled in its new energy security report.
- Analysts anticipate LNG demand in 2030 to rise due to increased consumption in Europe and Asia, driven by various factors like the use of more gas in industrial production.
- Supply is also projected to increase post-2027, mainly from expansion projects in Qatar and the U.S., the top LNG exporters.
- Shell's scenarios—Surge, Archipelagos, and Horizon—predict different trends in LNG demand and supply growth, influenced by economic, geopolitical, and energy transition factors.
- The Surge scenario anticipates the strongest growth in energy and LNG demand, while the Archipelagos scenario envisions a balanced LNG market.
- In the net-zero Horizon scenario, LNG demand would peak in the early 2030s, reflecting a decline in global gas demand for net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
- The scenarios also consider peak oil demand, driven by the electrification of road transport, with an expected long, slow decline in oil demand after reaching its peak.
- Shell emphasizes the continued need for oil and gas investment, projecting global oil demand growth into the early 2030s, particularly in transportation and petrochemical feedstock.
- The energy giant, alongside other European oil companies, is refocusing on hydrocarbon production over renewable energy investments to ensure returns for shareholders and address energy security concerns.

Petronas right-sizing workforce for survival – GCEO
- Petronas plans to right-size its Global workforce aiming to reduce "enablers" (those in administrative roles) and ensure its survival in the coming decades amidst evolving and challenging global operating environment.
- Petronas is not retrenching employees but redeploying them in new roles, as it plans to introduce a new structure in the second half of 2022.
- As per Muhammad Taufik, the Petronas Group CEO, the exact number of job positions that will be affected is still unknown.
- Petronas currently has 15,000-16,000 enablers out of its 52,000-53,000 global workforce, and this ratio is above industry average.
- This exercise is mainly aimed at reducing the number of administrative roles and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
- The right-sizing move is not related to the Sarawak government's request to take over the gas collector role from Petronas in Malaysia’s gas-producing state, according to Muhammad Taufik.
- To remain viable, Muhammad Taufik emphasised that Petronas needs to be cost-efficient and nimble to respond to new market dynamics by diversifying into new products, including specialty chemicals, technology, renewable energy and clean gas produced using CCUS technology.
- Other major oil companies have also made job cuts, including Shell, which cut 20% of its workforce in two exploration subdivisions while ExxonMobil plans to reduce nearly 400 jobs by 2026.
- Petronas plans to focus on upstream exploration and processing of hydrocarbons into specialty chemicals, commercialising technology, and practices, as well as renewable energy.
- Petronas' long-term role will focus on upstream exploration, in line with its petrochemical segment’s expansion into specialty chemicals.
