LNG
This paper aims to describe the role of liquefied natural gas as a transitional energy source for automobile transportation in Nigeria.
The LNG specialist also greenlit a debottlenecking project to free up additional volumes at the Corpus Christi site.
Technical safety standards are essential as global offshore exploration heats up.

Among the top 10 largest discoveries in 2013, half of them are natural-gas discoveries and all of them are in offshore environments, primarily in Africa, Far East Asia, and transcontinental countries, with estimated resources of more than 4,000 million BOE. -
There are already many floating liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) receiving terminals operating successfully in the world. The economics of floating LNG (FLNG) is compelling. Major cost savings can be achieved by the streamlining allowed by FLNG processes.
-
Growing world demand for natural gas will drive increases in capital expenditures on LNG through 2019.
-
Roughly one-half of global gas reserves are considered stranded gas--uneconomical because of the remote location of potential markets, lack of economic transportation and infrastructure, or the lack of conversion technology. An FPSO with gas to liquids conversion is an option for stranded gas.
-
LNG will increasingly be the way to bring stranded gas to market so that it can meet demands for clean-burning fuels. LNG basics for engineers was the subject of a recent webinar presentation.
-
The paper assesses the technology implications of migrating LNG floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) concepts to inshore service.
-
A rigorous modeling approach is developed for effective management and inventory analysis of natural-gas storage in underground salt caverns.
-
This paper describes Saudi Aramco’s efforts to eliminate early foaming incidents during the commissioning stage of the Karan nonassociated (NA) sour-gas field.
-
In the next 20 years, there will be a large increase in global natural-gas demand, with an average growth rate of more than 1.8% per year. The top two leading countries in rising gas demand are China (7% per year) and India (4.7% per year).
-
Strong demand for natural gas is driving a recovery in liquefied natural gas (LNG) expenditures worldwide, with expenditures expected to reach USD 228 billion in the next five years.
