The U.S. is on its way to becoming the number one global Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exporter. U.S. LNG exports will play a vital role in reducing Europe’s dependence on Russian natural gas as the Russia-Ukrainian War continues. Climate change effect in Europe, Asia and Latin America are also bullish for U.S. LNG exports.
Attendees of this 2 day course will take away comprehensive knowledge of the LNG industry, from fundamentals:
- Types of infrastructure
- Costs
- Siting and safety regulations
- Markets for LNG
- How an LNG plant operates (import, storage, and vaporization)
- Types of vessels used to transport LNG
To more in-depth topics such as:
- Inland and offshore LNG import and export terminals
- How LNG peak shaving plants are used to mitigate temporary natural gas supply and price risks
- The roles played by the Department of Energy, FERC, PHMSA, and USCG in siting and safely operating U.S. LNG projects
- LNG bunkering and greening LNG cargos
- LNG pricing mechanisms
- Sales purchase agreements
- How LNG is priced for domestic use
