X-Origination.

Value contract terms before agreeing them.

Use Calypso’s portfolio models to compare proposed LNG contracts and individual flexibility clauses. Calculate the change in portfolio value at forward prices. Then test the same terms across simulated price paths.

Contract value

PROPOSED TERMS COMPARED WITH A BASE CONTRACT

Review the value added by each clause and how it changes across prices. Keep the portfolio assumptions consistent.

WHAT IT DOES

What you can do with X-Origination.

01

Value destination flexibility

Compare the portfolio with and without the right to deliver to alternative markets.

02

Value volume flexibility

Test the permitted minimum and maximum volumes under the same price scenarios.

03

Compare pricing formulas

Assess how indexation choices affect expected profit and exposure.

04

Separate two sources of value

Show the value at forward prices and the additional value associated with price uncertainty.

05

Compare revised terms

Change the proposed terms and recalculate their effect on the existing portfolio.

06

Assess an acceptable price

Compare the proposed price with the value the contract adds after shipping and other modelled costs.
