LNG Fundamentals

The course provides a structured understanding of how LNG is produced, stored, transported and supplied to markets. Participants learn how natural gas processing, liquefaction, cryogenic operations, shipping, regasification and commercial activities interact across the LNG value chain.

Natural gas must meet specific feed-gas requirements before liquefaction. The course examines processes such as gas sweetening, dehydration and contaminant removal that prepare the gas for safe and efficient cryogenic processing.

Participants examine refrigeration and liquefaction principles together with cascade, mixed refrigerant and other liquefaction processes. The course also considers the energy requirements and efficiency factors affecting LNG production.

The course covers LNG storage tanks, cryogenic pumps, transfer systems, loading and unloading operations and boil-off gas management. Participants also examine the operational parameters used to monitor LNG production and handling performance.

Participants examine LNG carrier designs, cargo-management principles, receiving terminals and storage facilities. The course also explains how LNG is regasified and delivered through gas send-out systems after marine transportation.

The LNG Fundamentals course covers cryogenic hazards, fire risks, vapour dispersion and fundamental emergency-response principles. These topics help participants understand why LNG operations require carefully controlled equipment, procedures and operating conditions.

Participants examine LNG capital and operating cost drivers, pricing mechanisms, market structures, sales contracts and project-development considerations. The course also introduces market risks and emerging developments that can influence LNG investment and trade.
