NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Delhi, New Delhi, India, 2006/12/20 - South Korea is interested in buying LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) from the Browse Basin of Australia, as the fourth largest economy of Asia is competing with India and China for the supplies of energy.

Expressing its interest to Australia regarding the supplies of LNG from Browse & the two other nations, South Korea has given its consent to increase co-operation on the project. The Ministry of Commerce, Energy and Industry of Korea made this declaration on 8 December 2006.

Korea is contesting with India and China for LNG, which is a cleaner and environment friendly alternative to crude oil and coal. Korea wants to reduce its reliance on crude oil since fuel prices increased a record high of US$ 78.40 per barrel in NY in 2006.

As per a Research Analyst's view at RNCOS, who has recently researched a report on "Market Research on Asian LNG Market (2007)", South Korea would face stiff competition for the supplies of LNG. There's strong growth in the demand of energy in India and China. Shrinking reserves in North America & North Sea, and increasing demand has spurred both planned and actual imports of LNG.
