What Is LNG?• LNG is liquid form of the
natural gas used for cooking, heating and power generation.
• LNG is commonly used in the U.S. for “peakshaving.”
• LNG is used as an alternative transportation fuel.

Is LNG A Safe Fuel?
• LNG is odorless, colorless, non-corrosive, and non-toxic. – Natural gas vaporized from LNG can cause
asphyxiation in an unventilated confinement.
• LNG has been safely handled for many years.
© UH IELE. 5
Is LNG A Safe Fuel?
• Worldwide LNG Facilities:– 17 LNG export (liquefaction) terminals.– 40 import (regasification) terminals.– 136 LNG ships altogether handling approximately 120
million metric tons of LNG every year.– Over 240 peakshaving and LNG storage facilities, some
operating since the mid-60s.
• The U.S. has the largest number of LNG facilities in the world.

LNG facilities in the U.S.
The types of LNG facilities in the U.S. are:
• Baseload LNG plants: large facilities providing
long, steady supply of LNG to customers. There two
types,
– Baseload LNG liquefaction plants
– Baseload LNG regasification terminals
• Peak-shaving l iquefaction and storage
• Satell i te LNG storage

LNG facilities in the U.S.Peakshaving LNG facilities liquefy
and store natural gas in the summer for
eventual regasification during the
coldest days of winter. The storage tank
volumes in these facilities can be very
large capable of storing 1.0 to 2.0 BCF
of natural gas. In the US, LNG has
been utilized by LDCs for peakshaving
for more than 60 years.

LNG Facilities in the U.S.Satellite LNG facilities do not contain
liquefaction units, but only storage and
re-gasification equipment. Some of
these units are used for satellite peak-
shaving duties, while others are
dedicated to vehicle fuel transfer
systems. LNG is delivered from marine
terminals or satellite facilities, usually
by truck.

U.S. LNG Regulations
Regulations are designed to prevent incidents from occurring and if they do occur, from human or other error, to protect the public from any impact.
• 49CFR Part 193 Liquefied Natural Gas Facilities: Federal Safety Standards
• 33CFR Part 127 Waterfront Facilities Handling Liquefied Natural Gas and Liquefied Hazardous Gas
• NFPA 59A Standard for the Production, Storage, and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
• NFPA57 Standard for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Vehicular Fuel Systems
• International Regulat ions BS7777 and EN1473

U.S. LNG RegulatorsDOE helps to coordinate across federal
agencies that have regulatory and policy authority for LNG
FERC is responsible for permitting new onshore LNG regasification terminals and ensuring safety at these facilities.
DOT regulates offshore terminals and LNG tanker operations.
USCG is responsible for assuring the safety of all marine operations at all LNG terminals and on tankers in U.S. coastal waters
U.S. EPA and state environmental agencies establish air and water standards with which the LNG industry must comply.
Others include:U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Army Corps of Engineers for
coastal facilities and wetlandsU.S. MMS for offshore activitiesNational Oceanic and
Atmospheric State, county and local
(municipal) agencies play roles to ensure safe and environmentally sound construction and operation of LNG industry facilities. Local police and fire departments.

Is LNG A Safe Fuel?• The industry is not without
incidents but it has maintained an enviable safety record, especially over the last 40 years.
• The few safety related incidents have harmed the industry’s perception by those outside of the industry.
• The experience of the LNG industry demonstrates that normal operating hazards are manageable.

LNG Value Chain
• Natural gas is found in the earth’s crust.
• Most of the time natural gas is discovered during the search for oil.
• Worldwide proved reserves of natural gas about 6000 Tcf.
• Much of this natural gas is stranded, a long way from market.
• Production operations delivers the gas to users. Source: BGSource: BG
Exploration and Production

LNG Value Chain
• Natural gas is converted into a liquid state.
• The gas is cooled to LNG temperature of -256oF. The volume reduce by a factor of 600.
• Liquefaction makes natural gas more economical to transport.

LNG Value Chain
• LNG tankers are double-hulled ships specially designed and insulated to prevent leakage or rupture in an accident.
• LNG is a cryogenic liquid and it is stored in double-walled tanks at atmospheric pressure.
• The LNG shipping market is expanding.

LNG Value Chain
• At the receiving terminal the LNG is pumped into a double-walled storage tank.
• Vaporized by warming in a controlled environment.
• Vaporized gas is regulated for pressure and enters the U.S. natural gas pipeline system.
• Residential and commercial consumers receive natural gas for daily use from local gas utilities or in the form of electricity.

How Much Does LNG Cost?
© UH IELE. 22
LNG costs are declining. Natural gas can be economically produced and delivered to the U.S. As
LNG in a price range of about $2.50 - $3.50 per MMBtu depending largely on shipping cost.

Does The U.S. need more LNG?• Bulk of the natural gas used in
the U.S. comes from domestic production.
• Many fields that are several decades old and are declining rapidly.
• New natural gas reserves are being discovered, but with advanced recovery technologies these fields are quickly depleted.

Does The U.S. need more LNG?• Estimated shortfal l in supply of
natural gas of about 8 Tcf by 2025.
• Increased imports of natural gas will be required.– Canada may not be able to
sustain increasing volumes of exports to the U.S.
– LNG imports is expected to reach 2.1 Tcf a year by 2025, or about 6% of our total consumption. LNG is currently less than 1% of total U.S. Gas consumption.
• Demand for LNG is growing.

– North slope of Alaska - pipeline to the lower 48 U.S. States.– Rocky Mountain region.– Offshore resources, the pacific, the Atlantic, the eastern Gulf of
Mexico outer continental shelf (OCS).
• Access restr ict ion.– Offshore resources in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.– Rocky Mountain region (limited or prevented).
• Supply gap in will remains even after the delivery of Alaskan gas commences.
