Course Summary

As natural gas continues to strengthen its position as a preferred energy source for the modern era, the global demand for LNG is increasing significantly. LNG import terminals play a vital role in enabling access to this energy resource, particularly in regions located near major population centres. While LNG offers considerable advantages as a cleaner, cost-effective, and transportable fuel, public concerns regarding its perceived risks continue to influence infrastructure development decisions. Selecting the most appropriate LNG import terminal solution is therefore essential to achieving a safe, dependable, and economically sustainable import strategy.

This LNG Import Terminal Development & Option Selection training course presents a structured approach to identifying, evaluating, selecting, and defining the most suitable LNG import terminal solution according to project-specific safety, technical, commercial, and execution requirements. By applying a disciplined option selection methodology, organisations can reduce uncertainty during future project phases, including permitting, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operations. This training course equips participants with the knowledge required to confidently determine the optimal LNG import terminal solution while minimising development risks, delays, and unnecessary costs.

This LNG Import Terminal Development & Option Selection training course will highlight:

  • Key factors driving LNG imports
  • LNG terminal development alternatives
  • LNG terminal option screening processes
  • Selection criteria identification and application
  • Development of the preferred LNG terminal solution
