Abstract
There is an increasing demand for natural gas by countries that either do not have sufficient indigenous gas reserves or do not have sufficient access to a natural gas pipeline supply. As many of the world’s large gas fields are remote from these markets, an increasingly economic way to monetise these gas reserves is by liquefying the gas at source and transporting it to these markets in the form of LNG.
This presentation addresses why LNG and what is LNG? An overview of the issues and challenges faced during the design of large scale liquefaction plants will be presented.
