Floating LNG: Concepts and Applications Training Course.

Introduction:

Floating LNG (FLNG) technology represents a transformative shift in the oil and gas industry, allowing for the liquefaction, storage, and transportation of natural gas from offshore fields without the need for costly and time-consuming onshore infrastructure. This innovative technology enables the exploitation of gas fields that are otherwise uneconomical or inaccessible through traditional methods. This 5-day training course provides a comprehensive overview of Floating LNG concepts, design principles, operational practices, and applications in modern gas exploration and production.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this training course, participants will:

  1. Gain a thorough understanding of Floating LNG technology and its operational components.
  2. Learn about the design and integration of FLNG facilities, including liquefaction, storage, and regasification systems.
  3. Understand the technical challenges, advantages, and limitations of FLNG projects.
  4. Explore the economic, environmental, and regulatory considerations that influence FLNG operations.
  5. Stay informed about the latest trends and innovations in FLNG technology and its applications in the global energy market.
