Abstract:
Iran has the second largest gas reserves in the world with huge gas reserves about 32 trillion cubic meters. The expansion of gas exports in recent decades has been accompanied by liquefied natural gas exports, with the LNG industry growing rapidly due to the inability to export gas via pipeline to distant markets. The expansion of the LNG industry around the world, there have been various markets for this product that the Southeast Asian market being the largest market for this product and Japan is the largest importer in this sector.Specific mechanisms of the Japanese market, which have separated it from the rest of the LNG importing countries, are the extension of long-term contracts for the import of this product.Modeling this specific feature of the Japanese market is defined as the purpose of the present project. Understanding Japan's decision-making style and using energy security indexes to model the behavior of each LNG country that is considered an actor in this project, we will try to apply the concept of game theory to identify what share Iran can later achieved in the Japanese market since 2020
