New technologies and design methods will play a large role in the design and construction of LNG projects
Some key ongoing developments can reduce the cost of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. Offshore liquefaction will enable cost-effective use of remote fields, and economical mid-sized single machine LNG trains could improve project viability onshore. Improved design methods – the increased use of exergy analysis in conceptual design, modular engineering where appropriate and computing techniques such as dynamic simulation – can be used along with appropriate design margins and engineering standards to reduce capital costs.
Uncertainty over the viability of large base-load LNG projects has created interest in economical LNG production in mid-sized plants. Optimizing thes
