LNG portfolio optimisation software.
You are leaving money on the table. And no spreadsheet will ever tell you how much.

ANNUAL VALUE PER PORTFOLIO · DOCUMENTED ACROSS 40+ PUBLISHED CASE STUDIES
Three numbers your spreadsheet gets wrong.
01 · THE HIDDEN NUMBERS
Cargo-by-cargo analysis prices each leg on its own. But a deal consumes ships, slots and flexibility the rest of the book also wants, so the standalone margin and the portfolio truth can sit $22M apart on a single contract.

YOUR BEST SCHEDULE, OFF OPTIMAL
Same shock, five times the damage.
02 · THE DISRUPTION
A supply disruption hits the same portfolio twice: once run manually, once re-optimised by the engine as the shock unfolds.

03 · THE DESK
Input
Contracts, fleet, prices. Excel, API or ETRM; the full book, not a slice.
Optimise
Full portfolio schedule with P&L per voyage and across the book.
Refine
Drag and drop cargoes between vessels, fixate and reject to lock or block decisions.
Re-optimise
Instant full recalculation. The engine re-plans around every call you make.
OPERATION PLAN AS GANTT WITH P&L PER VOYAGE · POSITION CHART LONG/SHORT/NET BY MONTH · EVERY CHANGE VERSIONED, ANY TWO VERSIONS COMPARABLE
04 · THE GAUGE
Your best schedule is 5 to 15% off optimal:
the optimality gauge proves it.
No way to know if a schedule is even close to optimal is the normal state of a manual desk. X-LNG measures the gap on your own book and shows where the missing percent sit, voyage by voyage.
Where the value comes from.
05 · THE LEVERS
Scheduling itself
5 to 15% improvement over the best human schedulers, measured side by side in dollars on the same book.
Bad deals avoided
A single wrong deal is a $22M swing. Deals are assessed by incremental portfolio value, not standalone margin.
Flex valuation
Every contractual flexibility quantified in $/MMBtu, intrinsic and extrinsic.
Multi-deal evaluation
Three deals at once? Values are not additive. X-LNG tests all combinations.
Idle time reduction
Ballast voyages and idle days minimised across the fleet; fuel curves are non-linear, so small speed adjustments save significant cost.
Speed to decision
Markets move? The whole portfolio re-optimises in seconds, before the market moves further.
Not claims. Published case studies.

Common questions.
08 · FAQ
- What is LNG portfolio optimisation software?
- Software that solves an LNG book as one mathematical problem: vessels, cargoes, terminal slots, contract clauses and hedges together. A diversion or a new deal is valued by what it does to the whole portfolio, in dollars.
- How is this different from an ETRM?
- An ETRM records the book. X-LNG reads positions and curves from the ETRM, Excel or an API and returns an optimised plan plus the dollar value of every alternative.
- How is the 5 to 15% uplift measured?
- The engine re-solves the desk’s own book under the same constraints; the difference to the desk’s plan is the uplift. The optimality gauge shows how close any schedule is to optimal.
- Who uses it?
- Energy majors, utilities and hedge funds. Browser-based, with live data from day one; results are documented across 40+ published case studies.
