Introduction

LNG Fundamentals training course develops essential understanding of natural gas treatment, liquefaction, storage, transportation, regasification and global LNG operations. Participants learn how technical, operational and commercial activities connect across the LNG value chain. The emphasis is on understanding the principles that support safe, reliable and economically effective LNG production and supply.

The training course progresses from natural gas properties and feed-gas treatment to liquefaction technologies, cryogenic equipment, storage and shipping operations. Participants examine boil-off gas management, LNG terminals, regasification, process safety, project economics and commercial arrangements. They also develop a broader perspective on pricing, market risks and emerging developments across the international LNG industry.
