Interest in LNG (liquid natural gas) regasification terminals and storage capacity is gaining momentum in the US. Several projects, either new-builds or expansions, are under serious consideration. Historically, only about 1 % of US natural gas consumption has come from LNG due to liquefication and transportation costs. However, reduced costs of regasification and improved transportation methods have made LNG imports more attractive. Indeed, some analysts predict as much as 10 % increase of LNG usage over the next 10 years. Because of current domestic terminal capacity is only 5 bcfd, it makes sense that new facility construction and expansion plans have begun in earnest this year. This article describes planned and ongoing engineering and construction projects in the downstream oil, petrochemical, and natural gas processing industry. Specific details of each project follow in the Worldwide Construction Update.
