Introduction to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

Event Overview

We will provide a high-level overview of LNG facilities, economics and trade. We will examine the characteristics of LNG and look at processes and facilities to produce and transport it including costs and economics associated with LNG plants and terminals. We will also explore the domestic markets for small-scale LNG plants and the uses for LNG produced therein. Finally, we will consider the possible implications of several new large-scale export facilities planned for the West Coast of North America. Some are under construction as we speak.

Attendees will receive 2 Professional Development Hours (PDH) upon completion.
