Petronet begins work on Dahej terminal expansion, tenders Kochi plant project
David Hayes in Mumbai
Natural gas demand is expected to grow rapidly in India over the next decade as overall energy use surges to keep pace with accelerating economic growth.
Gas will form an important part of the nation’s primary energy mix as part of efforts to develop clean power generation and provide expanding industries with a clean energy solution.
In spite of recent discoveries, indigenous gas reserves are insufficient to meet total demand and LNG and piped gas imports will fill the supply gap.
India currently is planning to build several new LNG import terminals to expand its LNG import programme that by 2012 is expected to account for about 35 percent of total supplies.

Soft quay mooring option for offshore loading
Jean Pierre Queau and Leen Poldervaart, Single Buoy Moorings Inc., Monaco
The Soft Quay Mooring LNG system combines known technology and operating experience to enable the offshore industry to affect the offshore transfer of LNG.
Single Buoy Moorings Inc. is experienced in the development, design, supply and operation of Single Point Mooring (SPM) terminals for large tankers and transferring crude oil without building port facilities, and also of Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units.
For the development of concepts for the LNG offshore business, with the standard manifold and mooring equipment on the LNG carrier, side-by-side (SBS) loading is the obvious choice.
