Cathodic Protection in Arctic Conditions Study Assesses Corrosivity of the Environment at the Yamal LNG Carrier Terminal in Siberia, Russian Federation

摘要

Yamal LNG, one of the largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in the world, processes natural gas from the giant onshore South Tambey gas and condensate field located on the Yamal Peninsula in the Arctic region of the Russian Federation. Yamal LNG will produce reserves of 4.6 billion bbl (731 billion L) of oil equivalent. The project includes an integrated gas treatment and liquefaction facility with three liquefaction trains (each with a capacity of 5.5 million tons per year), storage tanks, a port with 15 ARC 7 ice-class LNG carriers with a capacity of 170,000 m(3) each, and airport infrastructure.
