Liquefied Natural Gas: Developing and Financing International Energy Projects

This work analyzes the commercial, legal and financial aspects of the complex process of developing an international energy project for the production and marketing of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The authors describe the essential chains in the commercialization of natural gas as LNG: entrepreneurial aspects; functional LNG facilities; and a linked series of contracts and contractual relationships. The expert contributions show the import and significance of the crucial dependent factors that appear and reappear in all stages of a successful LNG project. Each activity, each facility, each contract must be understood in the context of the overall project development process. By providing an understanding of the whole, this book aims to inform the performance of those who have personal responsibility for only a small part in the development and implementation of an LNG project.
