Abstract: A marine LNG project spans a series of activities from production through liquefaction, transportation and regasification to marketing. At each stage a different corporate entity may be involved. Projects also entail the crossing of international boundaries with all the attendant complications of different fiscal systems. Owing to the exceptionally capital- intensive nature of the business and because of the constraints imposed by the need to deliver LNG into the market at a price competitive with alternative fuels, the planning of a project must consider all the various activities, companies and countries involved. All phases of a project are interdependent and the project analyst faces the formidable task of having to consider the eventual operation of the entire supply system in order to eliminate potential bottlenecks or diseconomies at the outset. Operational research (O.R.) and computing techniques are an indispensable aid for analyzing such problems. This paper sets out to illustrate how they can be applied, from the preliminary planning studies, through the detailed development phases and finally to a full operational scheme.
