BP gives update on quest for quality in varying LNG specs
Written by
Martin Josten and Stephen Hull, BP Exploration, and IGU Study Group on LNG Quality and Interchangeability
A key issue when arranging the destination of LNG cargoes is the gas specification of the receiving market, with the Asian markets generally requiring gas with a high calorific value, the US and UK using leaner gas and continental Europe more flexible in terms of the range of calorific values.
