Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

Over the past decade, developments in the LNG business have been impressive. New players have entered the industry and by 2007 there were 13 exporting and 17 importing countries. Liquefaction capacity more than doubled in 2006, from 86 to about 183 m t/y. Regasification capacity is also increased rapidly, from 242 to 373 m t/y in 2006. In 2006, the US reopened all of its mothballed LNG import terminals and deliveries to the UK began for the first time since 1990. The LNG tanker fleet is developing quickly, with around 220 ships servicing the industry today, compared with 90 in 1995. The types of company involved have also diversified, with power utilities joining the ranks as markets reshape. With so many changes, it is essential to have the latest information easily to hand. Fundamentals of the Global LNG Industry is the pre-eminent guide to LNG. This book contains 35 articles in which leading industry executives examine all the key issues, including: developments in trading, marketing, storage and power generation; trends in LNG financing; options for marine technology and the shipbuilding spree; contractual challenges in LNG shipping; activity in exporting countries, featuring Australia, Brunei, Equatorial Guinea, Iran, Nigeria, Trinidad & Tobago, and Yemen; analysis of the needs of importers including Europe, China and the US; environmental, efficiency, and economic design and technology considerations. There is also an enlarged statistical chapter and a global LNG map that shows the location of all major LNG projects. The CD-ROM contains a 20-page 2007 training directory.
