Fundamentals of Liquefied Natural Gas Training Course

Overview Objectives Audience Methodology Contents Certificate FAQ's

Course Overview

The contribution of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to the energy mix has dramatically increased in recent years. In comparison to other fossil fuels, LNG is the most environmentally friendly. It offers a great substitute to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. LNG is becoming a more affordable and cleaner fuel in many industrial, transportation, and marine sectors. The global LNG market is anticipated to grow exponentially due to rising energy consumption, global growth, and increasing taste for LNG in emerging economies.

This Fundamental of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) training course covers the fundamentals of LNG value chain, technical operations and commercial factors. You will understand the role of LNG, the terminologies used and the economy of scale. The course covers LNG plant operations, technical processes, custody transfer measurement & storage. LNG shipping & regasification process are discussed in detail. You will understand the important aspects of LNG projects. It also covers the framework of LNG Purchase Agreements.
