VIRTUAL GAS GRID

摘要

Due to the maturity of the LNG business and the new gas markets, innovative solutions are more and more demanded nowadays. The virtual gas pipeline offers an alternative to supply and receive gas in small quantities in a sustainable way, either to monetize small gas fields or remaining capacities in existing pipelines. The project covers the whole LNG small scale chain: liquefaction, distribution and regasification, involving the collaboration of three countries Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay. The use of modular solutions, for the LNG exporting and exporting facilities, as well as the 'tailor made' barges design to allow LNG distribution in inland waterways with navigation restrictions will be the key of the success of this pioneer project. The purpose of this poster is to describe the technical solutions implemented as well as to highlight the main issues and difficulties found during the design process.
