Natural gas Liquefaction projects
Large International Scale LNG can consume as much gas as a large city on a daily basis. As a result, development of a feedgas portfolio supporting such a project is a complex task requiring negotiations with numerous industry players to develop the most economic and reliable mix of supplies and pipeline services to meet feedgas requirements.
GSC has undertaken several engagments on behalf of LNG project developers in the US as well as on behalf of various international customers of US LNG facilities to assist in the development of appropriate feedgas portfolio to meet facility requirements.
