LNG project development requires alignment between the characteristics of the available gas resource and the technical requirements of the liquefaction process.
Feed gas composition, flow rate, pressure, pretreatment requirements, energy consumption, site conditions, and delivery logistics all influence the development concept.
An Integrated LNG Engineering Approach
Feed Gas Evaluation
Assess available gas composition, expected production rates, pressure conditions, and potential variability to establish the preliminary LNG design basis.
Pretreatment & Gas Conditioning
Evaluate the treatment systems needed to meet process requirements, including water removal, acid-gas removal, and other contaminants as applicable.
Liquefaction & Utilities
Assess suitable liquefaction configurations, refrigeration requirements, compression, utilities, and operating flexibility within the defined project scope.
Capacity & Development Strategy
Compare potential capacity configurations and phased development approaches against the available feed gas, project objectives, infrastructure, and commercial considerations.
EPC Integration
Coordinate LNG process requirements with compression, power generation, storage, utilities, procurement, fabrication, construction, and commissioning interfaces.
Designed for Defined Operating Conditions
The relationship between upstream production and LNG facility performance must be considered from the beginning.
Changes in gas supply, pressure, or composition can affect pretreatment, compression, refrigeration duty, and operating requirements. Evaluating these interfaces early can help identify constraints and inform the selection of suitable design margins and operating flexibility.
