Fundamentals of LNG

Oil and Gas

Course Overview

Liquefied natural gas has become the pivot of the global energy transition, and Africa — from Mozambique's Rovuma basin to Nigeria's expanding trains — is central to its next chapter. This five-day course walks delegates through the entire LNG chain: gas treatment, liquefaction, shipping, regasification, and the commercial structures that hold it together. Technical concepts are taught for a mixed audience, so commercial, legal and finance professionals leave as confident as the engineers.

What You Will Achieve

  • Trace the full LNG value chain from wellhead to regasification terminal
  • Explain liquefaction technologies and what drives plant capacity and cost
  • Understand LNG shipping, storage and the physics that shape both
  • Read an LNG sale-and-purchase agreement's key clauses with confidence
  • Assess how African LNG projects fit global supply and demand

Who Should Attend

Engineers new to LNG, and the commercial, legal, finance and government professionals who work alongside them on gas projects — no prior LNG experience required.
