Well to customers REGASIFICATION & STORAGE SHIPPING LIQUEFACTION EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION
6
Natural gas is found in the earth’s crust. Most of the time natural gas is discovered during the search for oil. Worldwide proved reserves of natural gas about 6000 points. Much of this natural gas is stranded, a long way from market. Production operations delivers the gas to users. Exploration and Production Well to customers
7
Natural gas is converted into a liquid state. The gas is cooled to LNG temperature of -162 o C. The volume reduce by a factor of 600. Liquefaction makes natural gas more economical to transport. Liquefaction Well to customers
8
LNG tankers are double- hulled ships specially designed and insulated to prevent leakage or rupture in an accident. LNG is a cryogenic liquid and it is stored in double-walled tanks at atmospheric pressure. The LNG shipping market is expanding. Shipping
9
Well to customers At the receiving terminal the LNG is pumped into a double-walled storage tank. Vaporized by warming in a controlled environment. Vaporized gas is regulated for pressure and enters the natural gas pipeline system. Residential and commercial consumers receive natural gas for daily use from local gas utilities or in the form of electricity. Storage and Regasification Source: CMS
