World FLNG Market Forecast 2015-2021 Leaflet + ContentsDouglas-Westwood
Despite a current pause in commitments to new projects, the capital expenditure (Capex) for FLNG vessels is expected to amount to $35.5bn over 2015-2021. Spending on FSRUs will total $22.8bn over the same period, taking the combined expenditure for the Floating LNG market to $58.3bn. The World FLNG Market Forecast 2015-2021 forecasts activity through to 2021.
Introduction to Gas Transportation and Storage technology including pipeline, CNG, LNG, GTL, GTW, methane hydrate, and the importance of gas sales agreement in a gas value chain.
LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is used mainly for heating, cooking and electricity generation; it also has other industrial uses.
There has been active LNG trade in the Pacific region for many years. However, the opening up of LNG regasification plants in the North American and European markets have provided a much larger consumer base for LNG producers. This increased customer base allows aggressive investment into better liquefaction technology, in turn, spurring more demand. As a result, LNG is rapidly becoming a major factor in natural gas trading after several decades of relative obscurity.
Liquefied Natural Gas has a number of major advantages as compared to current sources of energy. The major advantages of LNG would be: its ease of transport, its superb quality, its safety, its flexibility of use, and its sustainability.
Revithousa island is storage for LNG- Liquefied natural gas.
During the visit our NGS supplies, had a meeting with the operational manager of the site and agreed about cooperation for the Israeli market in case that it will be decided to build LNG terminal in Israel.
This facility has been accomplished with the cooperation of many companies which NGS is representing:
The design and the engineering was made by a team of international companies under the management of Asprofos engineering.
A large amount of pipes were supplied by Corinth Pipeworks.
Many of the ball valves and other equipment ware supplied and built by Enimex.
In addition, Totgas supplied a lot of the necessary equipment during the constructions.
The construction of the LNG unit was built by a group of the international companies including Greek contractors such as J&P Avax, Elter and others.
The Malampaya Gas to Power Project is the most significant industrial investment in the Philippine natural gas industry. It paved the way for the birth of the country’s natural gas industry and provides a supply of clean and environmental friendly fuel. However, since this is the only operational source of natural gas in the country it’s not really enough to meet the demand of energy in the country. This type of energy is only available in Luzon hence significant development for the industry must be made.
PLG President Taylor Robinson presented at the Crude Oil Transportation 2014 conference in Calgary, Alberta on September 3, 2014. Mr. Robinson’s analysis focused on comparing the crude by rail model created in the Bakken over the past five years with the new and quickly evolving Western Canadian model. As well, the potential impact of U.S. DOT regulatory changes are shared in the presentation.

Propane precooling mixed component refrigerant process (C3/MR) represents 80% of the commercial used processes. The process has proven to be efficient, flexible, reliable, and cost competitive (M. J. Roberts, 2004).
For these reasons the a C3MR process, using synthetic natural gas (SNG) from the methanisation process, was selected to be simulated. Simulation of the process has been conducted using Aspen Hysys® version V.8. process simulation software. The PR equation of state is used for thermodynamic properties calculations both for the natural gas and the refrigerants.

Update on progress of the use of innovative technologies by large ocean going vessels LNG as fuel. Presentation of LNG bunkering challenge and new technologies. Displaying the instrumental role of Bureau Veritas in the adoption of LNG as fuel by the Industry.
The move toward using liquid natural gas (LNG) as a propulsion fuel is continuing to gain momentum as new environmental regulations are enacted and facilities are expanded. LNG propulsion holds the potential to disrupt the largely value chain of maritime and similarly commoditized fuel industry. As such, LNG propulsion is enjoying high awareness across the industries as established positions in the market may be challenged and convergence may enable entirely new key players. This may facilitate a new business eco-system of independent entities.
However, due to imposed regulations from IMO and MARPOL, a need for technologies to clean or eliminate vessel propulsion exhaust has emerged. Though promising prospects, LNG propulsion is fairly an infantile technology in shipping, i.e. progress is needed in infrastructure facilities and bunkering etc., in order to further build and mature the market. Despite a need for extensive modifications to retrofit LNG in vessels, it is an attractive compliance option.
Europe yards have already somewhat proven track record, while Asian yards are rapidly mobilising to accommodate the rising demand. LNG propulsion has developed steadily over time and is to this day applicable across large variety of engine types. Of the key engine manufacturers especially Rolls Royce, Wartsilla, and Man Diesel are active in the market and already produce a variety of commercially proven models.
This reports majorly seeks to present the compliance options for fuel industry, namely, the use of low sulphur fuels, installation of scrubbers and utilization of LNG as propulsion fuel. LNG production/ supply is believed to sufficient to oblige the needed quantities to propel the forecasted penetration in fleet and geographical spread. Yards are generally mobilising to build capacity, know-how and to deliver according to demand at present. The success of LNG propulsion technology and its penetration in the market, is determined by timing, as the infrastructure availability and market potential must be aligned.

Deswik-IPCC2013 Presentation-Scenario based analysis of IPCC trade-offsDeswik
This presentation was delivered by Deswik at the I-M Mining IPCC 2013 conference on 14th October 2013.
The presentation outlines a recommended approach for assessing the viability of In Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) for mining operations. The key point is that modelling MUST include both the proposed system as well as other conventional fleet areas of the mine, modelled as a single system. This allows identification of system interactions and fatal flaws that are evident only in a combined mine plan model.
In previous years multiple presentations called for development of mine planning software that is capable of effective IPCC planning. Deswik commenced work in February 2013 on addressing this need, and have formed a partnership with industry experts RWE to ensure the result is fit for purpose. This presentation illustrates techniques that use the first results of this endeavour.

17. CURRENT LNG MARKET TRADE & PRICE
Till March – 2011 (Japan Earthquake & Nuclear
power plant shutdown) LNG was in oversupply
Post Mar – 2011 rebound observed in flow of spot LNG
Stronger spot demand in new markets like South
America & Middle East & Japan / Korea
Producing countries which focused earlier on USA
market are strategizing of securing new market
More traders involvement with increased need to
flexibility
Global overall trade grew by 20% last year to 220
Million Ton with 50% growth coming from Qatar &
Balance from Russia, Indonesia, Yemen, Nigeria, Peru
Recent Geopolitical development had impact in North
Africa (Egypt, Libya, Algeria etc)
Major demand came from Asia (Korea, Japan, China,
India), Europe (UK, Italy), South America, ME
USA demand failed to materialize
18. CURRENT TRENDS IN LNG
LNG import terminals in USA planned to become
export terminal in future to sell the Shale Gas to
other global customers
Likewise the LNG export terminals of dwindling
gas fields like in Indonesia are planned to be
converted to import terminals (Exxon)
Australia, China, Japan & Qatar influence the LNG
market most and trend expected to continue
Spot LNG in demand
Floating Regasification coming in operation in
Argentina, Brazil, Dubai, Kuwait, UK & USA
LNG carriers may continue to see slowdown in new
orders but expected to rise after 2013 as demand picks
Lower level of investment expected to continue in
short term on new LNG facilities
19. EXPECTED MARKET TREND
Major growth demand wise likely to be in Asia
Australia expected to become major producer
surpassing Qatar in next 5 years
With development of Shale Gas and slowdown in
economy & additional capacity of LNG coming up the
price are likely to be in control
Geopolitical developments may impact the price &
demand for spot LNG
23. GAS TRANSPORTATION BY SHIPPING – IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHTS:
LNGC are cryogenic cargo tanks or big
thermos containers where the LNG is
maintained @ -160 C & atmospheric pressure &
is constantly boiling.
In LNGC, some gas is removed to prevent
pressure build up due to surrounding heat called
as boil off gas or BOG. This is either reused as
fuel for ship propulsion or re-liquefied &
returned to cargo
LNG transporting is economic over long
distance (eg. Alaska to Japan or Australia to
USA or Japan, Qatar to UK / USA)
Common size of LNGC has cargo space storage
of 140,000 M3 (Cargo dead weight of 64,000 Ton
LNG).
24. GAS TRANSPORTATION BY SHIPPING – IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHTS:
The shipping cost represent @ 10 to 30% of the
total costs in LNG value chain
Approx 320 LNG Carriers are in service (out
of total 1500 Liquefied Gas ships under
operation worldwide) – in comparison there are
@ 12,000 Oil tankers of these approx 800 are
Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC’s)
Approx 50 LNGC are on order under
construction
25. GAS TRANSPORTATION BY SHIPPING – IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHTS:
Small size LNGC is down to 1,100 m3(500
ton) and large LNGC are now built upto
266,000 m3 (122,000 Ton Q-Max class) to
reduce delivery cost.
Typically LNGC are built for specific
project for long term upto 30 years to match
market contract.
Very few LNGC available on spot market
Depending on the GSA these are either
arranged by buyer or seller on FOB or CIF
ex-ship terms.
LNG Shipping is usually arranged from
third party owner under long term time
charter arrangement (charter parties)
27. COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG)
Advantages
• Simplicity
• Inexpensive onshore facilities
• Can start with very modest transporting needs
• Energy efficient
• Can exploit isolated supply sources
• Suitable for small demand markets
Example: A 1200 MW plant requiring around 125 MMscf/d
would be well suited for CNG import rather than LNG,
which would require a generating capacity of 5000 MW (!) of
gas-fired generation (if all used for that purpose).
28. COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG) COMPRISES
Compressed gas (1500 to 2500 psi and 0 to - 40 F)
Two technologies for CNG transport
a. The Cran & Stennings approach
b. The Enersea approach
Example: Consider the transportation of 300
MMscf of gas as CNG
Using the Cran & Stennings approach
Actual volume of CNG: 1.76x106 ft3
Using the Enersea approach
Actual Volume of CNG: 1.2x106 ft3
30. FOR TRANSPORTATION OF THE CNG
90% of the investment involved is in shipping of the
gas.
Loading and unloading is possible and easy with small
facilities.
31. ESTIMATED NUMBER OF SHIPS
Factors for determining the number of ships: loading rate
of the gas, distance for which the CNG is transported and
the time required for a ship to make one complete cycle.
Distance No. of ships
miles
1000 4
1500 5
2000 6
2500 7
3500 8 to 9
5000 11 to 12
32. COST OF TRANSPORTATION
For voyage distance of 2500 miles
Cost of CNG transport: $1.86-$2.43/Mscf
(depending on pressure and temperature)
Published Cost of LNG transport: $1.89/Mscf
As the distance decreases CNG becomes more
attractive than LNG
33. COMPARISON OF CNG AND LNG
Size of investment for a 500MMscf/d plant
CNG LNG
Reserves: Modest Large
Processing cost: MM$30-40 MM$750-2000*
Transportation costs: MM$230/ship MM$160/ship
Unloading costs: MM$16-20 MM$500-550
Total investment: $1-2 billion** $2-3 billion**
* Depending upon the location of the production site
** Depending upon the number of ships used for the transport of the gas.
35. TYPICAL COST COMPONENTS FOR CNG
PROJECT

5%
Shipping
89%
36. COMPARISON OF CNG AND LNG
Advantages of CNG over LNG
Requirement of lower throughput of gas for a project
Involvement of lower capital
Ease of deployment … faster implementation of a project
Ability to access stranded reserves and monetize them
Majority of the investment is in the shipping, making the
assets movable and reducing the risk involved
Disadvantages
Inability to transport large volumes of gas such LNG
Disparity in the volume transport hinders commercial
possibility of CNG
37. GAS TO LIQUIDS OR GTL
The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (F-T
synthesis) is one of the most important
technologies for GTL.
A main advantage of the F-T products is
the absence of sulphur, nitrogen and
complex cyclic hydrocarbons resulting in
almost no emissions of sulfur dioxide,
nitrous oxides and unburned
hydrocarbons.
For 100 barrels of liquids 1 MMscf of gas
is needed
First GTL Project announced in USA
recently
38. COMPARISON OF CNG AND GTL
GTL (Gas-to-liquids) technology converts
natural gas into hydrocarbon liquids.
Impetus for the GTL technology: Clean
fuel obtained as product and easy
transportation
Main products: Middle distillates like
gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel,naphtha and
diesel
45. COAL BED METHANE GAS (CBM)
WHAT IS COAL BED METHANE?
Standard natural
gas: CH4
Methane forms along
with coal
It is held in the cleats
with the coal
Substantial water
pressure needed to
keep methane in the
coal: 400 to 1000 ft ?
46. COAL BED METHANE GAS (CBM)
Relieve pressure to
release methane by
removing water
Domestic wells
completed in seams
produce methane due to
drawdown caused by
nearby pumping
6-7 times more natural
gas than in traditional
natural gas fields
47. COAL BED METHANE IMPACT / ISSUES
• Groundwater depletion
Water table drawdown
Decreased flow to springs and streams
• Groundwater Contamination
- Methane in the groundwater
- Seepage of disposed CBM water
• Surface Water
- Water quality: Excess Sodium or Salt
- Wasted water
- Changing channel shape
49. FUTURE TRENDS IN LNG
Regasification capacity rise expected
New LNG buyers expected in Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore,
Phillipine, Indonesia, Malaysia etc
Australia will become key player along with Qatar
Shale Gas development in some of the Asian region
may again alter the LNG demand scenario
FLNG & FCNG likely to come up (Indonesia (Shell’s
prelude), Brazil and ME are working on FLNG
Recent development in Nuclear plant in Japan may
increase the Future Gas demand as more Gas based
power plant likely
FSRU is another option likely to be considered
Global economic slowdown and Geo political
developments may have contradictory pressure on gas
price
