LNG Operations, Storage and Regasification Systems

About the Course

LNG terminals operate at the intersection of cryogenic storage, high-throughput transfer, and demand-driven regasification, where precise process control, containment integrity, and measurement assurance are critical to safe and reliable performance. These facilities must manage extreme temperatures, variable send-out requirements, and tight operational tolerances while maintaining supply continuity. Weak control of boil-off gas, transfer systems, or measurement processes can result in energy losses, custody discrepancies, and operational disruptions. Increasing regulatory expectations and the application of international standards have intensified the need for disciplined operational control, system integrity, and compliance across LNG operations.

This 5-day LNG Operations, Storage and Regasification Systems training course provides a structured and practical approach to operating, controlling, and optimising LNG facilities across storage, custody transfer, and regasification systems. It integrates cryogenic storage practices, boil-off gas management, custody transfer systems, and regasification technologies aligned with standards such as NFPA 59A and EN 1473. Emphasis is placed on process stability, measurement assurance, system reliability, and energy efficiency to support safe and continuous operations. Delegates will strengthen their capability to manage terminal processes, maintain storage integrity, control custody transfer performance, and optimise operational efficiency under varying operating and demand conditions.

Core Objectives

By the end of the training course, delegates will be able to:

• Explain LNG process flow and terminal system configuration
• Operate LNG handling, storage, and transfer systems safely
• Control boil-off gas systems and pressure stability
• Configure custody transfer and measurement processes
• Monitor system performance and operational indicators
• Troubleshoot process deviations and operational upsets
• Optimise regasification efficiency and energy utilisation

Training Approach

This training course combines technical instruction with system walkthroughs, operational simulations, and fault-based scenario analysis reflecting LNG terminal conditions. The delegates will engage in process evaluation, measurement analysis, and performance reviews to strengthen operational control, diagnostics, and optimisation decisions.
