A liquefied natural gas terminal is a facility for managing the import and/or export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). It comprises equipment for loading and unloading of LNG cargo to/from ocean-going tankers , for transfer across the site, liquefaction, re-gasification, processing, storage, pumping, compression, and metering of LNG.

Moving LNG production to an offshore setting presents several challenges. In terms of the design and construction of the FLNG facility, every element of a conventional LNG facility needs to fit into an area roughly one quarter the size, whilst maintaining appropriate levels of safety and giving increased flexibility to LNG production.

The LNG industry developed slowly during the second half of the last century because most LNG plants are located in remote areas not served by pipelines, and because of the high costs of treating and transporting LNG. Constructing an LNG plant costs at least $1.5 billion per 1 MTPA capacity, a receiving terminal costs $1 billion per 1 bcf/day ...
In my previous article, we saw how an escalating global demand for natural gas creates an argument for its export. But that alone won't make U.S. exports profitable. There are other major factors ...
Liquefied natural gas is the liquefied form of natural gas, which has a much smaller volume than natural gas in its gaseous form.This liquefied condition is used to facilitate the carriage of natural gas over long distances, often by sea, in specialized tanks.
The cost breakdown analysis is a popular cost reduction strategy and a viable opportunity for businesses. [1] [2] [3] The price of a product or service is defined as cost plus profit, whereas cost can be broken down further into direct cost and indirect cost. [1] As a business has virtually no influence on indirect cost, a cost reduction ...
In the following video, Motley Fool energy analysts Joel South and Taylor Muckerman discuss the Obama administration's recent approval of a second facility in the U.S. for exporting liquefied ...
A liquefied natural gas storage tank or LNG storage tank is a specialized type of storage tank used for the storage of Liquefied Natural Gas. LNG storage tanks can be found in ground, above ground or in LNG carriers. The common characteristic of LNG Storage tanks is the ability to store LNG at the very low temperature of -162 °C (-260 °F).
