Description
Nowadays, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is considered an attractive and immediate energy transformation bridge. This course provides a global perspective and a holistic approach to LNG project cycles from subsurface to end-users via surface facility and transportation.
It envisages the international LNG trade, pricing, and contract types. It covers basic subsurface notions for field reserves calculation, project economics, risk and uncertainty for informed decision-making, and the value assurance process. And it emphasises sour gas processing and utilisation (e.g. CCS, EOR), type of gas transportation and global LNG projects.
Understanding the role of different disciplines involved in LNG projects improves efficiency and boosts project success.
Essential definitions and actual case histories enrich the course, such as the CO2 and N2 EOR giant Lula field (Brazil) and supergiant Cantarell field (GOM) respectively. Examples of complex mega sour gas projects such as Shah field (UAE), Ghasha concession (UAE), and North Field East (Qatar) are also presented.
