LNG supply chain supply chain chokepoints

category tradeable chokepoint

How scores are shown

Criticality comes from the trace model and describes the node's dependency importance.

Evidence comes from the canonical Vein Graph: AI assertions, user corrections, and external sources.

Completeness is a data-coverage label based on available summary, evidence, sources, tickers, and chokepoint rationale.

Dynamic claims are capped below 100% and AI-only edges remain labeled as inferred. Model: trace-score-v1.

Liquefaction trains (US Gulf / Qatar)90% confidence — New train FID timelines and EPC labor constrain incremental export capacity.

Cryogenic heat exchangers90% confidence — Specialized heat exchanger fabrication lead times gate train start-ups.

LNG carrier fleet90% confidence — Sanctions and yard backlogs can remove effective shipping capacity quickly.
