CAPACITY AND TECHNOLOGY FOR THE SNOHVIT LNG PLANT

摘要

The Statoil paper will give an insight into the selection of capacity and technology for the Snohvit LNG Plant development. The initial plant design was a single train of 3.4 million tonnes of LNG per annum capacity. Recent screening studies indicate that LNG train capacity contributes significantly to the economy of scale. A decision on the Snohvit single train capacity will be balanced against specific risks related to the involved technology. The verification will particularly focus on technology exceeding present industrial practice when increasing train capacity into the range of 4.0 - 5.0 mtpa of LNG production.
