LNG land bridge proposed for stranded gas
Ernst Knolle is Chief Executive Officer of Knolle Magnetrans, based in San Francisco, California.
In the face of increased need for more energy and fuel efficiency, it is disturbing to see extreme waste in many oil fields around the world where “stranded” wellhead natural gas is flared or re-injected.
This kind occurs in north Alaska at a rate of more than twice that of China’s total natural gas consumption, according to official US statistics.

LNG terminal trends and choice advance
Chris Pashalis, President FMC Technologies SA
The present high prices of natural gas coupled to high demand for electricity and the inherent flexibility offered by LNG, have led to a considerable increase in the number of offloading terminals that will be required.
LNG demand is forecast to continue to rise by about 7 percent a year and go from 138.5 million tonnes in 2005 to 196-232 million tonnes in 2010 and 310-375 million tonnes by 2020.
