LNG

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the midstream context refers to natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state for easier storage and transportation. Midstream operations involve the processing, storage and transportation of LNG from production sites to distribution networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of LNG transportation?

LNG is efficient to transport due to its reduced volume, offers flexibility by reaching areas without pipelines, has a lower environmental impact compared to other fossil fuels, and is safer to handle and transport due to its non-toxic nature and higher auto-ignition temperature.

How is LNG processed and stored?

LNG is processed by cooling natural gas to about -260°F, transforming it into a liquid state that is 600 times smaller in volume.This liquefaction process typically occurs at LNG plants, where the gas is treated and liquefied. For storage, LNG is kept in cryogenic tanks designed to maintain its low temperature. It is then transported in specialized LNG carriers and regasified at import terminals for distribution.

How does LNG impact energy markets?

LNG enhances global energy security and market flexibility by enabling natural gas transport to regions without pipelines, diversifying supply sources, stabilizing prices and supporting the transition to cleaner energy.

What is the process of liquefaction?

Liquefaction involves cooling natural gas to about -260°F, transforming it into a liquid state. This process reduces its volume by approximately 600 times, making it easier to store and transport. The liquefaction typically occurs at LNG plants, where the gas is treated to remove impurities before being cooled and condensed into a liquid.
