Course Overview

Duration: 5 days Description

This LNG Short Course is designed for participants requiring
moderate technical coverage, coupled with information on LNG commerce and all
parts of the LNG Value Chain. Over 5- days, the course covers technical LNG
basics and facility operation topics, plus technical, design, and commercial
issues. Selected exercises and syndicates are used to reinforce the main topics
of LNG trade and technology. In-house trainings are available with either
increased technical and operational emphasis or increased project and
development emphasis. More in-depth coverage for technical, production, and
processing personnel is available in our 5-day course, LNG, Gas Conditioning
and Processing – LNG emphasis.
