In the recent past a rising number of projects,

both onshore and offshore, are targeting
capacities around 2 MTPA which might establish
a new class of mid-scale liquefaction plants in the
near future.
Such mid-scale plants still benefit from the
economy of scale e.g. for equipment and bulk
material compared to small-scale plants, however
not scratching the limits with regard to the
physical dimensions which ensures a sufficient
number of potential vendors and acceptable
delivery times.
The concept results in lower capital
requirements, shorter schedule and less complex
project execution compared to world-scale LNG
projects which would allow new players apart
from the big oil & gas majors to enter into the
LNG export market.

Predicting performance of LNG facilities with

RAM analysis

How to assess the impact of logistic

operations and simulate the entire LNG
Supply chain?
How predict the future performance of
LNG plant to meet production demand?
How to incorporate typical operations for
LNG plants and its dynamic behaviour?

The transportation system for natural gas

consists of a complex network of pipelines,
compression stations, LNG storage, LNG
Terminals with liquefaction and regasification
systems. Meanwhile, strategic gas planning
requires a balance to be achieved between
successfully satisfying consumer gas demand,
whilst minimising costs both in terms of capital
and operational expenditure.
While the engineers have to assure the reliability,
availability and maintainability (RAM) of the
systems in a transparent and auditable way, they
must have the ability to handle complex transport
scenarios and simultaneously incorporate all
physical equipment RAM details and maintenance
strategy to assure the delivery to the consumer
continuously without failure. RAM analysis is an
unique methodology to provide a complete
overview of the systems performance as
designed and can further be used to evaluate
impact of future development and ensure your
ability to meet future supply contracts.
DNV GL has developed advanced RAM tools and
methodology based on a history of over 30 years
of working closely with the Oil&Gas industry. At
DNV GL, Fabien Treillaud is responsible of the
business development of the RAM analysis and
activity.

Before joining the KVNR he had been employed
by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and as such
had been working on macroeconomic policy,
regional economic policy and R&D-policy and
maritime policy.
The consequences of the 0.1% sulphur limit for
maritime fuels, is forcing shipowners to make the
switch to LNG. However, the transition to LNG
bunkering requires a strategic approach, time and
proper planning.

bringing gas to market, provides technical
support to BP's portfolio of gas interests and
leads the discipline team that delivers expertise in
gas monetisation and energy efficiency.
Floating LNG (FLNG) production plants are
approximately the size of four football pitches.
As these vessels are set afloat deep offshore and
have to confront harsh weather conditions and
have people working in confined spaces it is
imperative to ensure these projects are safe and
environmentally sustainable.
Control of major hazards is of key importance,
and prevention of escalation from an initial
incident is critical. It is therefore imperative that a
clear philosophy should be set before design
starts, and that this should be based on a high
level of understanding of major hazards, their
potential consequences and the associated risks.

Theo Agbonifo joined Nigeria LNG in 2003 where

he held various roles in the Maintenance
department and 3 years later was among the
pioneer team that set up the Reliability section in
Nigeria LNG. Theo went on to coordinate the
Global Asset Management Excellence program in
Nigeria LNG and established the Operational
Reliability, Asset Integrity, and Process Safety
framework currently in use in the company.
Compared to the general energy industry, the LNG
sector can boast of an enviable record in
reliability and safety. The more important note
however is that it is imperative for the industry to
learn from major hazard incidents which
unfortunately resulted in fatalities, asset damage
and environmental exceedances. The LNG
industry is also vulnerable to similar incidents if
the inherent hazards are not properly managed.
Theo will address operational, process safety,
reliability, availability, operating costs and
margins as NLNG took a decision to adopt a
framework for working towards Asset

Tony Acton qualified in Physics, Cryogenic

Engineering and researched the thermal
properties of cryogenic helium. He has worked in
the LNG Industry for over 34 years covering
Europe, the Far East, India, the Middle East and all
the Americas.
Cost information is a key issue for each part of a
LNG chain and all elements must add up to allow
viable feed gas costs and a regasified LNG prices
over the long term. Most important is the
liquefaction cost, followed by shipping and
regasification costs. Historical generalised
capital and operating cost indices can be useful
as a guide but real information from projects is
vital as is an understanding of the effects of
differing technologies, operating philosophies
and the many local factors that influence costs.
Also, operational and safety procedures need to
be fit for purpose.
