Pavel,

The Asia Pacific Energy Research Centre is in the final stages of completing a report on small-scale LNG in the APEC region. It should be issued by April. The US Department of Energy is also about to launch a project on small scale LNG, funded in part by APEC.

James

Dear James Kendell , thank you for reply!

Hope this information will be in open access.

Yes. The APERC report will be about 70 pages. I'm not sure what DOE has planned.

As we enter a new year, one question continues to dominate industry discussions, is there a new wave of LNG projects on the horizon for 2019? With many projects targeting a start-up date in the mid-2020s, the expectation is that this year really could be a record year for LNG FIDs.

A new report “Top 20 Small-Scale Liquified Natural Gas (SSLNG) Companies 2019” has just been published and maybe of interest to you. This independent, 143 page report provides 106 tables and figures examining the companies within the SSLNG market space, the report gives you an immediate, one-stop breakdown of the leading Small-Scale LNG companies plus analysis and future outlooks, keeping your knowledge one step ahead. If interested to get the report, kindly get in touch with Sales and Marketing Executive(s) at VISIONGAIN LTD., Suite 143, Airport House, Purley Way, Croydon, United Kingdom.

Discounts on price may be possible as it is the beginning of the year.

LNG industry in Russia is also developing rapidly. The industry has all key prerequisites for growth such as a significant natural resource potential, proximity of projects to international markets, and potential for expanding the existing projects with relative ease. Russia expects its global market share in LNG to stand at 15 % by 2025.

 Now in Russia there are two large-scale LNG production plants operating in Russia: Sakhalin-2 (Sakhalin Energy Investment Company), and Yamal LNG (NOVATEK). Arctic LNG 2 project, the next project by NOVATEK, will have an estimated cost of $20 bn. Another large-scale LNG project is Baltic LNG (Gazprom). The plant’s projected commissioning is scheduled for 2022-2023. Approximate project cost exceeds $11 bn. Far Eastern LNG is a joint project by Rosneft and ExxonMobil. Project cost is estimated at $9,8 bn. While oil and gas giants Gazprom and Rosneft are active in the Far East, NOVATEK wants to expand in the Arctic. NOVATEK’s own long-term goal is to produce 55 million to 60 million tonnes of LNG per year by 2030.

Mid- and small-scale are also intensively developing in Russia. At the moment there are more than 13 ongoing projects: Сryogas, Gazprom GMT, Dalgasresurs, TopGaz and many others. The total investment in Russia’s mid- and small-scale projects exceeds $ 1 bn.

Hi Pavel,

Small scale LNG production onshore will be linked to LNG truck deliveries in countries where grids are under developped,r linked to remote domestic or industrial consumption where trucking from LNG plants on the coast is expensive and not competitive . Mexico or Australia could forsee a great potential.

Leading Companies in the Small-Scale Liquefied Natural Gas(SSLNG) Market Space. Plus, Global Forecast for SSLNG by Use (Road Transportation, Power Generation, Marine Transportation), by Spending ($m) is worth knowing.

A PEST analysis of the key factors affecting the overall SSLNG market could include factors ranging from Political, to Economic, Social and Technical.

An immediate, one-stop breakdown of the leading Small-Scale LNG companies plus analysis and future outlooks, keep knowledge one step ahead.

Thanks to everyone who answered to this thread

The APEC Energy Working Group study on "Small-scale LNG in Asia Pacific" has been published and is available on the APERC website at: https://aperc.ieej.or.jp/file/2019/9/27/small-scale+lng+in+asia+pacific.pdf

Thanks for your interest.

James, thank you for information!

Key market dynamics and investment opportunities are important for the development of SSLNG.

The global market for SSLNG is driven by high levels of spending in established and emerging markets. An important share of future capital expenditure can be expected tol be driven by the greater deployment of LNG as a fuel, and growing investment in SS LNG carriers.Several nations have just started importing LNG in small quantities to fulfil some of their industrial requirements. Such countries do not prefer importing large shipments of LNG as the demand for natural gas is still in the nascent stages in these nations. SS LNG import terminals are the most economic option for such nations and they have just started adopting LNG as a fuel in their respective industries. Several small nations are importing or planning to import LNG in small quantities specifically to cater to the feeling requirements of the power generation industry.

LNG adoption is rapidly increasing due to the fact that natural gas is a competitive and environment-friendly option when compared to other fossil fuel sources. Small-scale LNG import terminals are primarily designed to serve the fuel requirements of a particular industry such as power generation and/or functions as a hub for ship and truck fueling. The risks associated with the development of large LNG facilities are significantly high when compared to small-scale terminals.

Small scale liquefaction and regasification infrastructure are ideally placed to assist with the development of stranded assets, the supply of remote residential and commercial demand centers but also the provision of LNG as a fuel.

Natural gas can be transported from gas production centers to consumption centers in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG) through ships and pipelines. Natural gas can be transported in ships and trucks to locations that are not connected to pipelines. Transportation of LNG takes place between exporting terminal (liquefaction plant) to importing terminal (regasification plant).

SS LNG is used to supply small or isolated demand centers not connected to pipeline infrastructure, small scale LNG infrastructure is now increasingly deployed to cater to the growing demand for LNG as a transport fuel.
