Snecma and partners propose new equipment for LNG energy recovery
By Noël Marchal of Snecma
Several options exist for cold energy valorization in the LNG regasification process. Using a turbine to produce mechanical power is a very attractive solution, because it can be easily converted to electricity with a generator coupled to the turbine, or directly transferred to the secondary pumps through a mechanical connection.

Sabine Pass opening advances Chevron LNG infrastructure plan and strategy
While Cheniere Energy, the LNG facility developer, considers options for its Sabine Pass terminal due to open in Louisiana in a matter of weeks, Chevron Corp. is looking forward to being one of the beneficiaries of what is expected to become the largest US LNG import terminal.
Sabine Pass, designed with an initial peak send-out capacity of 4.3 billion cubic feet per day of regasified LNG, has capacity contracts of 20 years with Chevron and France’s Total.

Indonesia to halt LNG decline as market adjusts to shortages
John McKay, LNG journal Editor
The LNG industry’s development has been slowed by delays in new liquefaction projects and technical problems at existing and start-up facilities at a time when a global shortage of off-take is forecast for at least the next three years.
A total of nine new LNG trains are scheduled to begin exporting in the next 12 months, but at the same time another 12 LNG import terminals will open for business when the global market is already long in regasification capacity.
