Liquefied Natural Gas: Developing and Financing International Energy Projects (International Energy & Resources Law and Policy Series Set)

This unique work analyses the commercial, legal and financial aspects of the complex process of developing an international energy project for the production and marketing of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The authors, informed by their significant experience and insight in the LNG industry, describe the essential chains in the commercialism of natural gas as LNG: entrepreneurial aspects, functional LNG facilities and a linked series of contracts and contractual relationships. The expert contributions elucidate the import and significance of the crucial dependent factors that appear and reappear in all stages of a successful LNG project.

Each activity, each facility, each contract must be understood in the context of the overall project development process. By providing an understanding of the whole, this book can inform the performance of those who have personal responsibility in the LNG industry, including energy lawyers, engineers and bankers.
