Capture and act on lessons from incidents and near misses involving liquefied natural gas value chain.
The Liquefied Natural Gas Industry: From Production to Export
A practical programme in liquefied natural gas value chain for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in liquefied natural gas value chain — it punishes it. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in value chain; it has added to it. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations it covers ends in something applicable. Comparative studies of liquefied natural gas value chain across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations, not for observers of it. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about value chain. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from liquefied natural gas value chain, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Plans for value chain often fail at the handover point between functions. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
