Gastech 2026 runs 14-17 September at IMPACT in Bangkok — a deliberate APAC pivot. The 2025 Milan edition focused on European post-supply-shock LNG infrastructure; 2026 in Bangkok focuses on **Asia-Pacific demand growth + China LNG import dynamics + Japan
- Korea long-term contract renegotiations**.
Why APAC, why now
- China's LNG imports approaching pre-COVID peaks
- Japan's nuclear restart trajectory uncertain — sustained LNG demand
- South Korea's coal-phase-out commitments accelerating LNG buildout
- Vietnam, Philippines, Bangladesh emerging as new import markets
- Australian + Qatari + US producers all competing for the supply side
EarthScan presence
Tarry attends. Asia-Pacific is an emerging market for EarthScan — operator partnerships in Malaysia (Petronas), Thailand (PTT), Indonesia (Pertamina) all start at events like this.
What we'll watch
- Petronas + ADNOC + TotalEnergies APAC positioning announcements
- AI/digital track — gas sector MLOps maturity is 2-3 years behind oil & gas; closing fast under regulatory pressure
- Hydrogen-as-natural-gas-blend — APAC infrastructure pilots
- CCS in Asian gas fields — Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand pilot projects
