Flow Metering: An Essential Area Of Development

摘要

LNG consumption in the Asia Pacific region alone has been predicted to reach 150 million tonnes, a growth of nearly 100% in ten years. Part of this growth will be met by the introduction of small-scale LNG plants incorporated into floating, production, storage and offloading vessels. This new approach to LNG production will make it more akin to crude oil production than ever before, with LNG production being directly associated to specific fields. LNG has traditionally been bought and sold on the basis of long-term contracts, with the amount of energy transferred derived from measurements of tank volumes.
