An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
LNG Import Terminal
Critical Option Selection and Decision Making
Course Overview
Natural gas is rapidly being adopted as the fuel of choice for the 21st Century. Readily transported in the form of LNG, market demand for this product across the world is growing fast. LNG Import Terminals are typically located near major population centers leading to a growing tension between the desire for its beneficial qualities (clean, relatively inexpensive and easily transported) and a public perception of LNG as a ‘dangerous’ product. The public at large generally wish to enjoy the benefits of this product but without exposure to its perceived hazards. The LNG Import Terminal is a key element of the LNG supply chain for importing this valuable energy source and selecting the optimal LNG Import Terminal solution is critical for delivering a safe, reliable and cost-effective long-term solution.
This GLOMACS training seminar provides a systematic and robust approach to Identifying, Screening, Selecting and Defining the optimal LNG Import Terminal solution based on criteria specific to the project in terms of Safety, Technical, Commercial and Project Execution factors. Having a systematic approach to select the optimal solution will substantially reduce risks during subsequent development phases of the project including Permitting, EPC, Installation, Commissioning and Operation. This GLOMACS training seminar is essential in systematically selecting the optimal LNG Import Terminal solution and avoid potential design recycling, project development delays and cost overruns.
This GLOMACS training seminar will highlight:
- Key Drivers for Importing LNG
- LNG Terminal Development Options
- LNG Terminal Option Screening System
- Identifying and Applying Option Selection Criteria
- Defining the Optimal LNG Terminal Solution
