The current and historical value chain for LNG: Liquefaction – transportation – storage - regasification
The future value chain for LNG: Liquefaction – transportation – storage – distr ibut ion
The base of the future value chain has yet to be developed
New infrastructures for distribution, storage and, when desirable,
regasification of LNG will be needed on a global basis
Case studies of countries that are driving infrastructure development
Countries that will follow: Mexico?

Upstream Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Value Chain
Exploration and productionThis step consists of activities related
to the discovery and extraction of
natural gas. Onshore and offshore
platforms collect gas from drilling wells,
and then transport it to liquefaction
facilities.Liquefaction
A liquefaction facility cools gas
to -162˚C, at atmospheric
pressure. In liquid state the
condensed gas is reduced to
1/600th of its volume, allowing
for economical transportation.
Shipping The LNG is loaded onto specially built ships
designed to hold super-cooled gas. LNG can
be transported to any country in the world with
a regasification terminal.
Receiving, Storageand RegasificationIn the receiving terminal the
LNG can be stored as a liquid,
where it can be distributed as a
cryogenic gas, or it can be
warmed, converting it back to
gas for distribution.Source: BG Group

of natural gas in gaseous state (LNG takes only 1/609th of natural gas volume when in
gaseous state).
