ABSTRACT

The world has an abundant supply of natural gas, estimated at roughly 6000 TCF in areas with little or no local demand. This stranded resource has little value unless it can be delivered to areas of high demand that are willing to pay the price of production and delivery. This entry discusses the liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals, LNG ships, LNG receiving terminals, and pipelines that make up the chain that can provide a bridge for local communities and industry to access the vast natural gas resources around the world.
