1915-55 The early years: An American,Godfrey L Cabot, patents a river barge for the han-dling and transportation of liquid gas in 1914. Thereis no record that the barge is ever built. The liquefac-tion method has been technically feasible for a longtime. It is used as early as 1917 in the US for theextraction of hel ium.
Also in 1917, the world’s first gas liquefactionplant operates in West Virginia in the United States.
In 1942, a three-tonne lorry and a number of sin-gle-decker buses in London are modified to run onliquid methane. All the tests are technically success-ful, but are not exploited due to lack of a readysource of methane in the UK.
A Norwegian, Dr Oivind Lorentzen, produces adesign for an LNG tanker of 17,000 tonne capacity.During 1954 and 1955, a firm of naval architects inthe UK is commissioned to carry out a design studyfor a methane transport ship of about 14,000tonnes. In 1954, Gaz de France examines the feasi-bility of importing Algerian gas into France, bypipeline or ship. In 1954, there are plans to shipnatural gas in refrigerated barges from the Gulf ofMexico area up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers toChicago. One gas-carrying barge is built and tested.
Tests begin on the use of balsa wood for insula-tion. Layers of balsa wood are glued to the inside ofstorage tanks to make a lining of about one footthick. By 1955, Shell initiates a programme for car-rying LNG on board ship. Preliminary design propos-als indicate that the capital costs of refrigerated nat-ural gas tankers would be twice those of convention-al oil carriers.
Conch’s research work goes back to 1951 whenUnion Stockyard and the Transit Company of Chicagosets about building a barge capable of carrying LNG.In 1954, Continental Oil Co joins Union Stockyard
and Transit to form Constock Liquid MethaneCorporation, and its purpose is to develop ocean-going liquid gas carriers. In 1960, Shell acquires a40% interest in Constock, whose name changes toConch International Methane. In later years, Conchtakes a 40% shareholding in Compagnie Algeriennede Methane Liquide (CAMEL) and designs the world’sfirst two commercial methane tankers, the MethanePrincess and Methane Progress.
1959 The historic voyage of the Methane Pioneer: InFebruary, a shipload of 2,000 tonnes of natural gasfrom Louisiana is transported across the Atlantic andlanded in the UK at Canvey Island on the Thamesestuary, for use by the state-owned North ThamesGas Board. The Methane Pioneer was a dry cargovessel converted into a 39,000-barrel capacity pro-totype LNG carrier. The safe ocean crossing of thisunique cargo, the first of its kind ever transported bysea, marks the completion of the opening stage ofcommercial LNG transportation.
1960 Saharan gas: Large reserves are discovered inFrench Sahara. The main field, at Hassi R’Mel, oneof the world’s largest, has recoverable reserves esti-mated at up to 35 trillion cubic feet. A 500-kmpipeline is constructed to link this field with the coastat Arzew, near Oran, with an initial capacity of 145million cf/d and a possible capacity of 400 millioncf/d. Arzew becomes the first source of natural gasfor regular commercial shipments by methanetanker. A liquefaction plant is built at Arzew.
1961 Saharan gas for Britain: The UK plans that in 1964,it will begin to receive regular imports of LNG fromthe Sahara in refrigerated tankers. Under a 15-yearcontract with the French natural gas producing com-panies, and with Conch International Methane, theBritish Gas Council will take annual deliveries of35,000 million cf of natural gas, thermally equivalent

to over 10% of the UK’s demand for town gas. TheFrench plan for similar tanker transportation usingvarious insulating materials.
The liquefied gas will be carried in two specially-constructed tankers, each holding about 12,000tonnes of liquefied methane in a refrigerated state.Their construction costs will be very high — at least£3.5 million apiece — on account of the noveldesign. Designed for a service speed of 17 knots,the two tankers between them are expected to com-plete 56-58 return trips a year over the 2,500-kmroute between the Algerian loading port of Arzew andthe UK receiving terminal at Canvey Island.
1961 Novel engineering problems: Although the experi-ments with the Methane Pioneer have shown boththe technical and economic feasibility of shippingdeep-cooled liquid methane safely across theoceans, their translation into commercial practice willpresent the marine engineers with many novel prob-lems of ship design, construction, and operation.These concern especially the choice of suitableshapes and configurations of the cargo tanks and themost economic methods of using the boil-off gasduring the voyage, and of effectively insulating thetanks so as to ensure that their contents be main-tained at the extremely low temperatures required.While balsa wood proves an efficient insulant,research is directed to developing less costly meth-ods of tank insulation. Three different materials willbe tested in a French experimental methane tanker,the re-vamped Liberty ship Beauvais, whose conver-sion is to be completed in 1962.
1962 CAMEL established: It is formed in Paris to operatethe methane liquefaction plant at Arzew, Algeria, withan initial capacity of 1,500 million cm/y. About two-thirds of this output is earmarked for export by refrig-erated tankers to the UK, but purchases from CAMELare also under consideration in France, WestGermany and Italy.
1962 Agreement with Gaz de France: Algeria concludesan agreement with Gaz de France. From 1964, 420million cm a year of natural gas will be transportedby sea to France in the form of 335,000 tonnes ayear of LNG. It will be shipped by French-built refrig-erated methane tankers of 25,000 cm carryingcapacity.
1962 Storage system: Arzew is to have the world’s firstfrozen gas storage facility. This is a novel method oflow-temperature storage developed by Conch andapplicable to a range of chemical products as well asliquefied gas. The storage container consists essen-tially of a large frozen hole in the ground, covered byan insulated roof hermetically sealed to the groundagainst gas leakage.
1964 A first: The world’s first commercial movement ofLNG occurs between Algeria and the UK.
1964 CAMEL goes to the World Bank: The companynegotiates an $18 million loan from the World Bank.The loan is guaranteed by the Algerian government,which is asking for a 20%-25% holding in the com-pany.
1964 Arzew on stream: The liquefaction plant at Arzew isofficially inaugurated by President Ben Bella on 27September. The plant’s capacity is fully committedunder the export contracts signed with British andFrench interests. The UK Gas Council has contractedto take the equivalent of 1 billion cm/y of naturalgas. Two specially designed refrigerated tankers,Methane Progress and Methane Princess, each with
a carrying capacity of 12,000 tonnes, or about30,000 cm, have been built in UK yards.
1964 Launch of France’s first LNG tanker: The JulesVerne has a carrying capacity of 25,000 cm (inseven insulated cylindrical alloy-steel tanks). She issmaller than her British counterparts. She will makeabout 30 round trips a year from Arzew to Le Havreto transport the 335,000 tonnes of l iquefiedmethane (equivalent to 450 million cm of naturalgas). French engineers work on designs for muchlarger and more economical LNG carriers, withcapacities up to 100,000 cm.
1964 The ‘Membrane’ tank: First conceived by Conch in1954, this is a thin impermeable lining in LNGtankers, entirely supported by the insulation. After along period of exhaustive tests, successful sea-trialsbegin in 1964. It was originally the intention to testthe membrane in the Methane Pioneer, the originalprototype methane tanker vessel, but circumstancescaused trials to be carried out in the Findon, a drycargo motor vessel. A mild-steel tank internally insu-lated in the same way as the hulls of the Princessand Progress was installed to represent the hold, butwith the addition of a two-inch layer of balsa woodon the entire inner face of the plywood secondarybarrier. For its initial voyage to Arzew, the vessel isladen with 63 tonnes of liquid ethylene, the firstoccasion such a cargo had ever been carried by sea,while, on the return voyage, 125 tonnes of LNG werecarried to Canvey Island. Two further such round tripsare successfully carried out with the Findon.
1965 Initial performances by the Methane Princessand the Methane Progress: In the first five monthsof their service between Algeria and the UK, bothmethane tankers complete 11 voyages. Each tankercosts £4.8 million to build. The separate aluminiumcargo tanks in each ship give no indication of anyfault, corrosion or deterioration. The balsa/fibreglassinsulation system is performing well and retains itsoriginal properties. Only in the case of the transversebulkheads are steel temperatures slightly lower thananticipated and a steam coil is fitted to provide extraheat in these marginal areas.
1968 First Asian producer: Brunei is to become the firstAsian LNG producer and will export LNG to Japan.Shell Kekiyu is to buy the gas from Shell Brunei.Besides a liquefaction plant to be built in Brunei, twospecial refrigerated tankers will be required to supply2 billion cm/y, over a period of 20 years beginning in1971. The gas will come from Southwest Ampa,where the offshore oil field produces half of Brunei’soutput of 100,000 b/d. LNG will be transported toterminals at Negishi and Sodegaura, both in TokyoBay, and at Osaka. Using gas piped from offshorefields near Seria, the liquefaction plant will be atLumut. Two years of negotiation by Shell andMitsubishi Shoji with Tokyo Electric, Tokyo Gas andOsaka Gas result in the supply of 65 million tonnesof LNG over a 20-year period.
1968 Alaska becomes the first contracted supplier toJapan: Cargoes of LNG will begin to cross the Pacificin 1969 when facilities under construction at PortNikiski (Alaska) are completed, stemming from a 15-year sales contract signed March 1967 by MarathonOil and Phillips Petroleum with the Tokyo ElectricPower Company and Tokyo Gas Company. The pro-ject involves the construction of plant capable of liq-uefying up to 173 million cf of gas a day, three stor-age tanks each of 225,000 barrels capacity, six

loading pumps and a 1,200 foot dock in Cook Inlet.Two Swedish-built tankers designed by Gaz
Transport, of France, will be used. Each will have acapacity of 440,000 barrels of LNG, equivalent to1.5 billion cf of gas, in six tanks. Due to the uniqueweather conditions in Alaska, where the tidal varia-tion in Cook Inlet is as much as 32 feet and brokenice is a serious hazard, special steels are to be usedto strengthen the hulls, and heating will be installedto prevent freezing of the water ballast. The cargotanks are claimed to be completely different indesign from those used in any existing LNG ship.Using the ‘membrane’ concept, the tanks containthe liquid by a very thin metallic sheet formed fromstrips of Invar — a 35% nickel steel with virtually noexpansion or contraction in the temperature rangeinvolved.
1968 The US sees further uses for LNG: Experts visualiseLNG as a fuel for supersonic transports. Nasa, Pratt& Whitney and others begin feasibility studies. If allbuses and trucks in the US were run on LNG, a newmarket for 36 billion gallons of LNG, or 3 million cf ofgas equivalent would be created. Some expertsbelieve that, within a decade, all the energy needs offarms will be supplied from LNG.
1968 Delays in Algeria: It is unlikely that the target datefor the start-up of additional LNG exports to Francewill be met. Under a 15-year agreement concludedin 1967, France undertook to buy 1.5 billion cm/y ofgas, beginning in 1971, rising to a maximum of 3.5billion cm by 1975. This is in addition to the 0.5 bil-lion cm/y which is being exported to France fromArzew, and involves construction of a new pipelinefrom Hassi R’Mel to the port of Skikda, a liquefactionplant at Skikda, and two or three methane tankers tocarry the gas to Fos, near Marseilles.
1969 First Libyan LNG exports: The first shipment of LNGleaves Esso’s new plant at Marsa el Brega bound forSpain, marking Libya’s entry into the still exclusiveranks of LNG exporters. The methane tanker,Aristotle, will carry the first trial cargo to Barcelona asthe initial installment under Esso’s 15-year contractto supply 110 million cf/d of gas to Gas Natural.Further experimental shipments will go to Panigaglianear La Spezia under an agreement to supply Italy’sSnam, an affiliate of ENI, with an even larger quanti-ty of 235 million cf/d over a 20-year period. Whenexports to both countries reach full contract level by1970, output from Esso’s plant will total 345 millioncf/day, or 3.6 billion cm/y.
1969 Algerian exports: Algeria is now exporting 2 billioncm/y (1.5 billion cm to the UK and 0.5 billion cm toFrance), but this total will go up sharply when addi-tional shipments start going to France some time in1972 from the new liquefaction plant at Skikda, ini-tially at the rate of 1.5 billion cm/y and rising to amaximum of 3.5 billion by 1975.
1969 LNG carriers: Nine are now in operation or underconstruction, and five others are in the bidding stage.
1969 Shipments to the US East Coast proposed: Withthe growth in demand for an almost sulphur-freefuel, there is now a danger of a domestic gas short-age in the late 1970s, and LNG shipments of around300 million cf/d, probably from the Caribbean, areregarded as a useful safeguard. An importation pro-ject of this complexity could not, however, becomeoperational until 1974 at the earliest.
1969 More LNG for Japan: Japan may soon be importinggas from the four points of the compass. Alaskan
shipments of liquefied methane should begin thisautumn; agreement has been reach on supplies fromBrunei starting in 1972-73; discussions are inprogress concerning LNG from Abu Dhabi; and thereare new proposals for Russian deliveries direct fromSakhalin.
Tokyo Gas and Tokyo Electric Power Company’sjoint scheme to import liquefied gas from Alaska,under a 15-year sales contract signed in March1967, was then postponed for two months and hassince been again delayed, apparently by difficulties inthe tanker building programme. The liquefactionplant to be run by Phillips at Nikiski was officiallydedicated on 8 August and is under test. And of thetwo Swedish-built low-temperature tankers one, thePolar Alaska, has completed sea trials and will short-ly be on its way round Cape Horn for cryogenic test-ing at Nikiski.
1969 LNG from Abu Dhabi: Bridgestone Liquefied GasCompany and Mitsui discuss with BP and CFP thepossible liquefaction and import of natural gas fromAbu Dhabi. Bridgestone indicates its confidence inan agreement by already calling for bids on the con-struction of LNG tankers, while Mitsui is looking forpotential customers in Japan. Industry estimatessuggest that the scheme will require some 3 billioncm/y of gas for 10 years for a liquefaction plant onDas Island. The network would be the first to utilisethe Middle East’s vast gas reserves and would be thethird serving Japan’s growing market.
1970 Ever larger tankers: LNG tankers have developedwith astonishing speed since 1959, since theMethane Pioneer. The same ship, now trading as theAristotle, carries two emergency shipments ofAlgerian methane to Boston Gas in the US.
The first ships built expressly as LNG carriers werecomparable in size to 28,000-dwt oil tankers. TheMethane Princess and the Methane Progress, fol-lowed shortly by the Jules Verne, had capacities foronly 173,000 and 160,000 barrels of liquid respec-tively. By contrast, the newest methane tanker inservice, the Polar Alaska (and its about-to-be-deliv-ered sister ship, the Arctic Tokyo), can carry450,000 barrels — equivalent in size to a 70,000-dwt crude oil tanker.
1970 Expanding export networks: Only two LNG exportnetworks are currently operating, but more are onthe way. The latest plant to go on stream isPhillips/Marathon’s joint venture at Nikiski onAlaska’s Cook Inlet. The Polar Alaska delivered thefirst cargo to Tokyo Gas/Tokyo Electric Power’s termi-nal near Yokohama at the end of November. Thenext operating network will be Esso’s plant at Marsael-Brega in Libya, from which 235 million cf/d of LNGis scheduled to go to Italy’s Snam at Panigaglia and110 million cf/d to a Catalana de Gas subsidiary atBarcelona. Of the four new 250,000-barrel tankersEsso is chartering for the venture, the Esso Bregohas already been delivered, while the Porto Venere,the Liquria and Laieta are due in service shortly.
1970 Algerian LNG for the US: El Paso has said it willseek Federal Power Commission approval to import1,000 million cf/d of Algerian gas — twice as muchas under any LNG scheme yet proposed — for which9-11 tankers will be needed, with capacity of600,000 to 750,000 barrels each. Gazocean hasearmarked the 315,000-barrel Descartes, underconstruction for 1971 delivery, as the world’s firstLNG tramp ship for spot cargo deliveries to the East

Coast of the US, and confirms another order for whatwill be the world’s largest methane tanker to date: a472,000-barrel ship to be built by France’s Ciotatshipyard, for 1974 delivery.
1970 More LNG tankers: Orders for methane tankersincrease. Only 11 of these vessels are in existence,but firm LNG export commitments call for 24 to bebuilt within the next five years, with as many as 70operating by 1980. Shell has now ordered a total ofseven LNG tankers from French shipyards. With acapacity of 75,000 cm of LNG, these ships will beequivalent in size to 100,000-dwt crude oil tankersand are estimated to cost between $27 million and$30 million each. They are due to be deliveredbetween 1972 and 1975.
1970 Venezuelan plans: Philadelphia Gas Works plan toimport 5 billion cm annually of Venezuelan gas. Essohas also said it is seriously considering bringingVenezuelan gas to the US.
1970 Plans in Trinidad: Feasibility studies are under waywith Amoco and potential US buyers. Possible USterminal sites might be Wilmington, Delaware, orSavannah, Georgia.
1970 Plans too in the USSR and in Nigeria: BringingRussian gas from Yakutsk to Magadan for liquefac-tion and shipment to Japan is discussed as isShell/BP’s idea in bringing Nigerian gas to the US.
1970 More tanker orders: Shipowners order three
87,600-cm LNG tankers from Norway‘s MossRosenberg yard at Stavanger, scheduled for deliveryin 1973, 1974 and 1975 at a cost of $28 millioneach.
The Norwegian orders will be the first LNG tankersof this size to be built with spherical tanks. The muchsmaller Euclides, built at Le Havre to a differentGazocean design, also contains spherical tanks, butis a prototype of only 4,000-cm capacity. There isnow three basis types of LNG ships (although withineach type there are variations according to designand materials used). The first generation featuredself-supporting tanks of either aluminium or a 9%-nickel steel. The second generation, and recently themost successful in terms of orders, features integrat-ed membrane tanks supported by the hull of the shipand made of either corrugated stainless steel orsmooth Invar (an alloy of nickel and steel with a neg-ligible co-efficient of expansion).
The new spherical tank design eliminates the sec-ondary barrier, required by classification societies toprotect the hull from any tank leakage of the -161°Cliquid methane, and reduces costs by a further 10%over the membrane design.
1970 LNG potential: Global trading in LNG is now forecastto reach 6 billion cf/d by the end of the 1970s, com-pared with the present 300 million cf/d. Several USEast Coast utilities continue to buy emergency LNG

1972 US imports from Algeria: Approval is given for thefirst long-term import of Algerian LNG. The 20-yearcontract for 50 million cf/d is to be shipped toBoston’s Distrigas in the Descartes. Deliveries willcome from the new Skikda liquefaction plant.
1972 New LNG plants and ships: There are, as yet, onlythree liquefaction-for-export plants in the world(Arzew, Algeria; southern Alaska; Libya), together pro-ducing some 0.7 billion cf/d of gas. Two larger plants(Skikda, Algeria; Brunei) will begin operating later inthe year. The young methane tanker fleet continuesto expand. Shell’s 75,000-cm Gadinia is the 12thLNG ship in service. It is the first of seven LNG carri-ers being built for Shell/Mitsubishi’s Brunei-Japan pro-ject. Almost 50 new buildings are either on order orat an advanced stage of negotiation. LNG experts pre-dict that 150-200 ships will be in service by the mid1980s.
1972 World record: Sonatrach signs the world’s biggestsingle LNG export contract in December with a five-company European consortium. The 20-year deal willsupply 260 billion cm of gas.
1972 Brunei contract operational: Brunei, the first ofAsia’s LNG producers, starts exporting 7 billion cm/yto Japan.
1975 Many projects: By the end of the year, 25 LNG pro-jects are under discussion or construction, againsteight in operation.
1976 Japan talks to Iran: Talks start on Iran’s Kalingasproject, a joint venture between National Iranian GasCompany, US and Norwegian companies. The pro-posal is to produce 5.8 million tonnes a year of LNGfor export to Japan, rising to over 11 million tonnesat full capacity. If the scheme goes ahead, Iranwould supply 25% of Japan’s projected total LNG
imports of 42 million tonnes a year by 1985. Theproject never materialised.
1976 Das Island: Abu Dhabi signs a 20-year LNG contractwith the Tokyo Electric Power Company to supply 3m tonnes/y of LNG. The plant will be built near theoffshore oil terminal on Das Island. BP has a 26%shareholding in the project.
1977 Gaz de France increases volume: Under a secondsupplemental agreement, the volume of LNG to bedelivered is raised to 5.15 billion cm/y. The agree-ment is for 20 years, starting in 1980. Two earliercontracts signed in 1964 and 1971 provide for thedelivery of another 4 billion cm/y.
1977 Bontang: Indonesia begins its first shipment of a 20-year LNG contract to Japan in August. Located inEast Kalimantan, the facility has a throughput of 530million cf/d of gas from Huffco’s Badak field, discov-ered in 1972.
1978 Arun: Indonesia’s second LNG plant makes its firstdeliveries in October. The three-train facility, located atLho Seumawe, in Aceh, North Sumatra, takes the gasfrom Mobil’s Arun field, found in 1971.
1979 First-ever LNG contract expiry: The 15-year con-tract between Algeria and the UK expires.
1979 Hefty rise in sales: Worldwide LNG deliveries rise byone-third and sales increase by 60%. But the marketis shaken by disputes over pricing, breaches of con-tract and abrupt cancellations of projects thoughtcertain to go ahead.
1982 Californian scheme scrapped: A proposal to build aterminal to receive LNG from Indonesia and Alaska isabandoned.
1982 Indonesian ambitions: Dr Subroto, Indonesia’senergy minister, says that his country wants to dou-ble LNG exports and announces that it hopes toexport to South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan andSingapore.

1983 Bintulu starts deliveries to Japan: Malaysia alsohas hopes to export LNG to South Korea. The Bintuluplant will liquefy gas from Shell’s Sarawak fields inthe Central Luconia basin. The 20-year contract withTokyo Electric and Tokyo Gas will build up to about 6million tonnes/y.
1984 LNG imports: Japan purchases 72% of the world’sLNG and uses three-quarters for power generation.With France, these two nations consume nearly 90%of world total.
1984 Qatar: Fluor draws up a basic concept for utilisationof Qatar’s North Field gas. Under the scheme, 800million cf/d will be developed in Phase 1 for localuse. A second 800 million cf/d will be developed forsale to neighbouring countries, while Phase 3 willsee a final 800 million cf/d developed as LNG forexport.
1985 Australian North West Shelf project signed: Thego-ahead was given in August for the $7 billiondevelopment, to be operated by WoodsidePetroleum. The LNG export scheme will involve theconstruction of a second offshore production facilityin the Goodwyn gas field and a third in the NorthRankin field. These will be tied into the existing NorthRankin ‘A’ platform so that gas can be piped 135 kmashore to a planned LNG plant on the BurrupPeninsula. Storage tanks and an LNG shipping jettywill be installed on the coast near Dampier. EightJapanese utilities have contracted for the plant’s out-put.
1985 Indonesia/Taiwan talks: Pertamina begins talks tosupply Taiwan with up to 2 million tonnes/y.
1985 End of long-standing dispute between Algeriaand Spain: Spain agrees to tough terms whichrequire it to take 60 billion cm over the years to2004 with rising deliveries instead of the 1973agreement which asked Spain to take 4.5 billioncm/y, of which never more than 1.5 billion cm/y wastaken. Spain agrees to pay $500 million in compen-sation for underlifting.
1986 Canadian project scrapped: The $2.5 billion LNGproject to take 2.35 million tonnes/y of LNG fromCanada to Japan is abandoned.
1986 Algeria/US negotiations: Sonatrach negotiates withTexas Panhandle, present owner of two, laid up,126,000-cm LNG carriers. They were built for theoriginal El Paso scheme, aborted after the break-down of price negotiations following the 1979-1980oil price escalation.
1986 South Korea becomes an LNG importer: The firstshipment of 59,250 tonnes is delivered fromIndonesia.
1986 Algeria suspends indexing: Indexing of its LNG priceto the official price of eight crudes is discontinued,the first LNG producer to omit the official crude pricefrom the formula.
1987 Zeebrugge terminal: The 600 million cf/d LNG ter-minal in Belgium is brought into operation. LNG isimported from Algeria.

1988 The Bonny project: Advanced discussions beginbetween NNPC, with Shell as technical leader, overthe building of a 4 million tonnes/y two-train LNGplant at the Bonny site in Nigeria. Discussions areheld with most of the European gas utilities and withpotential US buyers. Prospects look better than atany time in the 20 years that the project has beenunder consideration.
1988 Norwegian interest: Two possible projects are moot-ed. One is for the Snoevit (Snow White) gas fields offnorthern Norway where CFT-Total has a stake. Twofloating production systems and a two-train onshoreliquefaction plant capable of processing 3.6 milliontonnes/y are considered. To the south, nearStavanger, a 220 million cf/d LPG and LNG process-ing plant is studied by Statoil.
1988 Qatar proposal: Qatar is seeking buyers for LNG toexploit huge non-associated gas reserves in the giantoffshore North Field (formerly North West Dome).Marubeni promises to take 2 million tonnes/y andIndia even more. South Korea and Taiwan also showinterest.
1988 Algerian/US trade: Algeria’s attempt to rebuild itsLNG trade with the US crosses another hurdle. USauthorities give approval for the deal betweenSonatrach and Distrigas of Boston for the sale of upto 17 LNG cargoes annually over 15 years.
1989 North West Shelf: In August, the first shipment ofLNG from Australia’s North West Shelf to Japan ismade ahead of schedule. Woodside Petroleum is theoperator of the facility.

1992 Demand outstrips supply: Increasing LNG demandleads to concern on future supplies. Greenfield ven-tures are again discussed, mainly supplies fromRussia’s Sakhalin Island and development in theBrowse Basin, Western Australia. The addition of atleast two more trains at Bontang will be necessary tobridge the anticipated supply gap.
1992 Oman plans: In February, Oman launches its LNGexport scheme. Shell International Gas is commis-sioned to carry out a detailed feasibility study, includ-ing a full appraisal of reserves. These are put at 280billion cm.

Atlantic LNG consortium is now investigating the possi-bility of constructing a third liquefaction train, whichwould take the plant's capacity up to 1.3bn cf/d.Prospects for an extension of the project were boostedwith BG's sizeable gas discovery in the Hibiscus field,off Trinidad's north coast, in 1996.
1997 Indonesia: Arco's planned Tannguh LNG projectreceives a boost with the participation of the UK's BG.The companies have agreed to collaborate in the sup-ply of gas for the proposed Irian Jaya project, usingreserves from Arco's Wiriagar and Berau PSCs andBG's Muturi PSC. Arco has outlined plans to have aninitial two train LNG plant operational by 2003, using900m-1bn cf/d of gas as feedstock. It is estimatedthat proved and probable reserves are in the 10 trillionto 12 trillion cubic feet. Arco expects to invest initially,$600m-$800m in upstream development, with $2bnrequired for the liquefaction plant.
1997 Australia: Wapet, owners of the Gorgon field, offshoreWestern Australia, has made a proposal to the NWShelf LNG consortium, proposing co-operative devel-opment of the field. The plan envisages the construc-tion of two new liquefaction trains, adjacent to theexisting NW Shelf ones, on the Burrup Peninsula. LNGdevelopment in the region could be further acceleratedby another gas find by Chevron in the Carnarvon basin,in the Gorgon/Chrysaor trend. Chevron and Texaco are50:50 owners of the field, called Dionysus-1.
1997 Australia: Shell and Woodside have unveiled proposalsfor an LNG plant at Darwin, with feedstock comingfrom discoveries in the Sunrise, Troubadour, LoxtonShoals and Evans Shoals fields. They propose a$7.8bn, 7.5m t/y facility to come on stream in 2005The two-train plant is designed to supply export con-
tracts for 20 years. 1997 Australia: BHP and Phillips are negotiating with other
partners to decide on which way forward for a plannedLNG facility, with feedstock from the Bayu-Undan off-shore field. A Phillips-led joint venture made a signifi-cant discovery in ZOCA 91-13, 500 km northwest ofDarwin in 1995. Later surveys showed that the findextended into ZOCA 91-12, owned by a consortiumincluding BHP and Petroz. It is estimated that theBayu-Undan field has reserves of 5 trillion cf. PresentlyPhillips favours liquefying the gas onshore, nearDarwin, using its proprietary technology, as used at itsLNG plant at Kenai, Alaska. However, BHP prefers apioneering offshore liquefaction facility, near the find.Already, 10 wells in the field have been drilled, andpotential customers for the project include Japan,South Korea and Taiwan.
1997 India: The government approves the construction offour LNG receiving terminals at Cochin (Kerala),Ennore (Tamil Nadu), Mangalore (Karnataka) andeither Hazira or Dahej (Gujarat). A consortium of fourstate-owned companies, consisting of distributor, GasAuthority of India Limited (GAIL), refiner BharatPetroleum, and two exploration and production com-panies, India Oil Corporation (IOC), and Oil & NaturalGas Corporation (ONGC), will construct the receiving-regassification plants. Each terminal will have a capac-ity of 2.5m t/y, which could be expanded to 5m t/y.From 17 bids, seven companies, Amoco, BHP, Mobil,Shell, Texaco and India's Essar, have been selected tonegotiate partnership agreements with the consortium.

1997 Qatar: Amoco and Essar sign a joint venture agreementto buy LNG from Qatar's Rasgas project.
1997 Turkey: The country has considerable plans for LNGimports. In 1996, Algerian deliveries amounted to2,235m cm - in excess of the contract volume - andspot purchases from Australia amounted to 72m cm,giving a total surplus of 2,307m cm. Botas andSonatrach subsequently sign another agreement cov-ering 2bn cm/y, and capacity is being increased at theMarmara Ereglisi facility to 4bn cm/y. There are nowplans to build two new receiving terminals. Botas is inthe buyer group for Nigerian LNG after signing up for1.2bn cm/y, starting in late 1999. Turkey also plans toreceive LNG from Egypt which could lead to the importof 10bn cm/y of Egyptian LNG. Botas is also in negoti-ation with Yemen LNG on over 3.7bn cm/y.There arealso discussions with Qatar and Abu Dhabi. The sec-ond importation plant is planned for Izmir and the thirdwill be at Iskenderun
1997 Papua New Guinea: BP, Esso Australia and Oil Searchsubmit a study of the impact of an LNG project to thePNG government. The proposal suggests a single train,producing 4 million tonnes per year, based on thereserves in BP’s Hides field. The gas would be shippedby pipeline to either Wewak in the north of the countryor Cape Possession in the south. If successful, BPwould have a 45% interest in the project. Exxon would

1997 Nigeria: The Nigerian oil minister dismisses NigeriaLNG's board of directors over shareholder rights.
1997 Yemen: South Korea's Hyundai acquires a 5% stake inYemen LNG from state-owned Yemen Gas Company.
1997 Taiwan: There are plans to build a second import ter-minal at Tatan in northern Taiwan. There will be threephases in the construction, starting at a capacity of2m t/y in 2002 rising to a full 6m tonnes in 2007.Imported LNG now accounts for 85% of Taiwan’s gassupplies. The country’s only LNG import plant at YungAn is to be expanded from a capacity of 4.5 milliontonnes to 7.75 million tonnes a year, to be completedin 1999.
1997 Japan: The Ohgishima LNG receiving terminal is due tostart in 1998. The new facility is the third facility to beoperated by Tokyo Gas.
1998 Alaska: After nearly three decades of LNG operation atPort Nikiski on the Kenai Peninsula, two new projectsare planned. The first is scheduled to start in 2005 byYukong Pacific Corporation which has proposed a gasconditioning plant on the North Slope including aTrans-Alaska Gas System (TAGS), using gas suppliesfrom Port Thompson or Prudhoe Bay. Prudhoe Bay’smajor producers, Exxon, Arco and BP, together withPhillips Petroleum, are considering developing analternative LNG facility to be integrated with the exist-ing oil terminal at Port Valdez.
1998 Qatar: Work is underway to increase the capacity ofthe Qatargas facility to 6m t/y. During 1997, Qatargashad spare capacity and arranged a spot sale agree-ment with Spain’s Enagas covering the delivery of420,00 tonnes for 13 months to October 1998. Thereare plans for an early expansion of the Rasgas facilityto 10m t/y. Most of the output of the first phase ofRasgas will be going to Kogas, which signed up for2.4m t/y, but in early in 1997, doubled its commit-ment to 4.8m t/y. Kogas may become a 5% share-holder in Rasgas. With regards to the Enron-proposedRas Laffan LNG facility, talks continue with potentialbuyers.
1998 Trinidad: The Atlantic LNG facility is on track to ship itsfirst LNG cargo of 135,000 cm to Boston in the US bythe second quarter, 1999. There are two buyers,Cabot Corp of the US and Enagas of Spain. The share-holders are already discussing a second train of 3m t/ycapacity with construction due to start in late 1998.Additional potential buyers for this train may be Brazil,Puerto Rico and Europe. A third train may even beadded to come into operation in 2003.
1998 South Korea: During the year, Kogas has plans toimport 13.6m tonnes of LNG compared to 11.6 mil-lion tonnes in 1997 and 9.2 million tonnes in 1996.South Korea has two receiving terminals (Pyongtaek isthe eldest followed by the recently constructed Inchonplant) and has started the design of a third at TongYoung. In 1999, Korea will receive its first MiddleEastern LNG cargo as Qatar is due to deliver 600,000tonnes that year, rising to the full first contract of2.4m tonnes annually in the year 2000. Korea alsohas a 4m t/y contract to receive LNG from Oman. Thefirst shipments from Oman will arrive in 2000, rising toa full contractual 4m tonnes the following year.
1998 Egypt: Snam has joined Amoco and EGPC in theplanned LNG export project. Shares in Egypt LNG, arenow Amoco 45%, Snam 45% and EGPC 10%. Targetstart-up date of the $1bn venture is 2001.
1998 Algeria: The country’s renovation programme is now in
its latter stages. The first project, on the GL2/Z plant atArzew, was completed in 1996 by Kellogg, which con-structed the facility in 1981. GL2/Z now has a designcapacity of of 10.5bn cm/y, up from its initial capacityof 10.5bn cm/y. Work on the GL1/Z plant, also atArzew and brought on stream in 1978, is nearing com-pletion by Bechtel. Capacity will also be 12.1bn cm/y,up from 10.5bn cm/y.The third project, on the GL1/Kplant at Skikda, brought on stream in 1972, wasupgraded by Gaz de France and its Sofregaz subsidiaryin 1997 and then Kellogg was awarded the contract tocarry out the renovation of the remaining trains whichwill be completed in mid-1998. GLK/K’s capacity willbe raised to 8.2bn cm/y. There will be no renovation ofthe Camel plant - the world’s oldest LNG plant. It willrun for as long as it is economically feasible and willthen be closed down.
1998 United States: Prudhoe Bay’s major producers, Exxon,Arco and BP, together with Phillips Petroleum are con-sidering developing an LNG facility called the AlaskaNorth Slope Gas project, to be integrated with theexisting oil terminal at Port Valdez. Yukong Pacific Corphas also proposed the construction of a 14m t/y plantand marine terminal also at Port Valdez. Gas suppliesto come from Port Thompson and Prudhoe Bay.
1998 Indonesia: The ‘H’ train at Bontang was commissionedat the end of 1997. This will bring working capacity ofBontang up to 18.8m t/y. By 2001, the ‘G’ and ‘I’ trainswill be commissioned with gas supplied mainly from theacreage operated by Total. These trains will increase theworking capacity to approximately 22m t/y. The ‘I’remains uncommitted and a further ‘J’ train may beplanned in the early part of the next decade. While theNatuna gas reservoir is one of the largest in the worldcontaining 46 trillion cf, the Natuna LNG facility remainsspeculative. Its main promoters are Exxon (50%) andMobil (26%). The Tangguh LNG project at Irian Jaya isbeginning to move, and construction may start in 2000.The shareholders are Arco and Pertamina.
1998 Russia: Sakhalin 11 is due for start up in 2005. TheLNG plant will be constructed on a bay not far fromthe port of Korsakov. The shareholders are Marathon(30%), Shell (20%), McDermott (20%), Mitsui (20%)and Diamond G (20%). Japan may be a major buyer.
1998 Malaysia: The country is adding substantial LNGcapacity. Commissioning of the two-train 7.8m t/yMLNG 3 will bring the Bintulu complex up to 25.8m t/yworking capacity, making it the biggest LNG complexin the world. A third train of up to 3.8m t/y is plannedbut no commissioning date has been set.
1998 Nigeria: Italy’s Enel signs a firm contract to buy 3.5bncm/y of gas from the Nigeria LNG venture, starting inOctober 1999 and continuing for 22 years. The con-tract confirms Enel’s original agreement, which itsought to cancel in late-1996 because it could notsecure planning permission for a regasification termi-nal. Enel has made arrangements with Gaz de Francefor the LNG to be delivered to the Montoir de Bretagneterminal. In return, Gaz de France, will supply Enel withbalancing volumes of Algerian LNG and Russian gas atthe Italian/Austrian border. By the end of 1997, con-struction of the plant was 68% complete. Other con-tracts are for Enagas of Spain (1.6bn cm/y), Botas ofTurkey (1.2bn cm/y) and Gaz de France (0.5bn cm/y).
1998 Australia: A consortium led by Kvaerner Oil and GasAustralia wins the contract for the front-end engineer-ing development and design for the Gorgon UpstreamLNG project in western Australia. The shareholders areChevron Asiatic (28.4%), Texaco Oil Development

(28.4%), Mobil Austral ia (14.2%) and Shel lDevelopment (Australia) Pty (28.4%). The sharehold-ers of NWS are considering a number of proposals ofwhich one is for a two-train addition based on thePerseus reserves. This will increase capacity up to8.5m t/y. There are a number of developments aroundDarwin. These are related to the Petrel (Darwin 1),Bayu-Undan (Darwin 2) and Sunrise (Darwin 3). Shelland Woodside have signed a letter of intent for a two-train LNG export plant at Darwin 3 which is due forstart-up in 2005.
1998 Oman: The Oman LNG plant, at Qalhat, is aheadof schedule. The 6.6m t/y plant is due to beginproduction in 2000. Oman LNG is owned 51%by government, 30% by Shell, 5.54% by Total,5% by Korea LNG [which in turn is owned 24%b y K o r e a G a s , 2 0 % b y D a e w o o , 2 0 % b yHyundai, 20& by Samsung and 16% by Yukong],2.77% by Mitsubishi, 2.77% by Mitsui, 2% byPartex and 0.92% by Itochu. There is one long-term customer at present: a 25-year deal at4.1m t/y, signed with Korean Gas and an addi-t iona l 0 .7m t / y i s expec ted to be taken byOsaka Gas of Japan, also for 25 years. A dealwith Petroleum Authority of Thailand has beendeferred indefinitely.
1998 China: And finally, discussions are taking placebetween a number of major oil and gas companies
(Amoco, BP, Exxon, Mobil, Shell and Total) and theChinese over the possibility of LNG receiving terminalson the Yangtse River Delta and the Pearl River Delta.The capacity will be between 3-6m t/y. Receivingsources will be Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Omanand Qatar. ■

Abu Dhabi in 1977 became the Middle East's first LNG producer.Originally built as a two train facility, capacity at the Das Islandplant was increased by the completion of a third train in 1994,raising the capacity from 3.3m t/y to 5.3m t/y. According togovernment numbers, this capacity is being exceeded. In 1996,LNG output was 5.7m tonnes.Japan took 81% of Abu Dhabi's LNG exports in 1996, Spain 12%,France 3% and the US 3%. ADGAS has been one of the firstLNG producers to sell gas on a spot basis - to CabotCorporation of the US and Enagas of Spain.

In 1993, Brunei LNG became the first large-scale project toundergo a major plant rejuvenation to extend it's life beyondit's original 20-year span. Annually, more than 5.5m tonnesof LNG is shipped to customers in Japan. The original 20-yearcontract was extended in 1993, for a further 20 years.Additional cargoes are now supplied to Korea.Today, gas is Brunei's major revenue earner ahead of oil.Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) produces gas from it's offshorefields. It is half owned by the government, and half owned byThe Asiatic Petroleum Company Limited, a company in theRoyal Dutch/Shell Group. Brunei LNG (shareholding as above)liquifies the gas at Lumut.

Nigerian LNG has been investigating the possibility of a third train,raising the capacity of the complex to about 10.7m t/y. Three gastreatment plants and a 218 km pipeline system linking the plantsto the complex are being constructed. By the end of 1997, morethan 68% of the overall project had been completed. NigerianLNG has entered into long-term gas supply agreements withthree joint ventures, operated by the Nigerian affiliates of Shell,Elf and Agip. They will respectively supply 53.3%, 23.3% and23.3% of the feed gas volume.With respect to marketing, NLNG has signed long-term LNG Salesand Purchases Agreements with ENEL in Italy for 3.5bn cm/y,Enagas in Spain for 1.6bn cm/y, Botas in Turkey for 1.2bn cm/y,and Gaz de France in France for 0.5bn cm/y. These are 22 1/2years take-or-pay contracts, with LNG prices predominantlyescalating with oil product prices.The new LNG Sales and Purchase Agreement with ENEL, signedon 31 December 1997, involves delivering 3.5bn cm/y at theGaz de France terminal at Montoir in France, as part of a swapdeal between ENEL, Gaz de France, Gazprom and Sonatrach(Algeria). This agreement replaces the old sales agreement withENEL, the international arbitration proceedings have beenterminated.The company has also signed a Memorandum of Intent withTransgas of Portugal for the sale of 0.35 to 0.50bn cm/y. It isexpected that the final volume will be around 0.42bn cm/y.Completion of this deal will conclude the LNG marketingeffort of the current project.
