Cheniere Energy sees the market remaining short of LNG for the next four years as it moves to bump up its own production for the longer term.

Speaking on a results call, executive vice president and chief commercial officer Anatol Feygin said the US producer expects the market to tighten this year.

That is due to what he described as the historically low volume of final investment decisions taken between 2015 and 2018, and despite the "substantial growth" in global demand forecast.
