LNG Fundamentals Examining Technical and Commercial ComponentsA comprehensive 3 day course designed for newcomers to LNG examining fundamental technical & economic factors behind the development of natural gas reserves through an integrated LNG project |
|
|
Course Objectives
Key Learning Outcomes
- The technical procedures for turning natural gas into LNG, its regasification and safety considerations
- LNG plant and terminal design, storage and shipping considerations
- The unique characteristics of LNG that broaden yet constrain the commercial and technical links in the “gas chain”
- How to generate various options for LNG market development proposals
- Risk and risk mitigation strategies to aid decision making
- LNG sales agreements and tactics to more effectively negotiate contract terms
- Perspectives of the investor, the operator, the customer and government towards LNG projects
- Political and diplomatic implications of international trade in LNG, including recent trends
About the Course
This course contrasts the technical and commercial differences between LNG and natural gas to point out benefits and constraints that arise from the LNG option. Examination of the technical process of producing LNG, plant design considerations, global comparisons along with the design of regasification terminals are examined.
A description is given of the elements in the “gas chain” which apply to LNG and of drivers that would lead to optimisation of design and commercial operation, and the range and role of relevant parties to a successful LNG project are described.
Regulatory authorities are also concerned with LNG safety, which is covered in detail, along with ways and means by which a new entrant to a proposed LNG project may ensure an investment that meets expectations.
Actual case histories will be used frequently to demonstrate learning points. Case histories and exercises will deal with examples taken from the course leaders’ international and local experience.
An introduction to terminology and practical "rules of thumb" should further enhance the participant’s ability to immediately contribute to a successful gas project – and to ask the right questions to test and improve the viability of a proposed project.
