About LNG
What is LNG?
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas cooled to –162°C, which reduces its volume by over 600 times, allowing transportation to markets around the world that don’t have direct pipeline access. Once transported, it’s re-gasified and used in heating, electricity generation, and as a fuel source.
Why this project matters?
With increasing global demand for cleaner-burning natural gas, our project supports the transition to lower-carbon energy solutions while promoting economic growth in the region. This project will contribute to global energy security by delivering high-quality LNG to international markets.
LNG Process
In order for natural gas to be liquefied it must go through the the process shown below.
1
- Free liquids are removed from pipeline
- Pipeline gas is to be compressed for further processing
2
- Acid Gas is removed via an amine solvent
- Contaminants: CO2, H2S
- Acid Gas is routed to an incinerator
3
- Contaminants are removed using molecular sieves
- Molecular sieves need to be periodically regenerated and cooled
4
- Gas is cooled down to knock out heavier hydrocarbons
- Heavier compounds can be sold as a separate stream of revenue

7
- LNG is directed to storage
- Plant will ensure safe loading and boil-off gas management
