Paper Details

LNG has been transported and used safely in the U.S. and worldwide for roughly 40 years. The U.S. has three typesof LNG facilities: LNG export, LNG import and LNG peaking facilities. The U.S. has the largest number of LNG facilities inthe world, scattered throughout the country and located near population centers where natural gas is needed.The LNGindustry has an excellent safety record. This strong safety record is a result of several factors. First, the industry hastechnically and operationally evolved to ensure safe and secure operations. Technical and operational advances includeeverything from the engineering that underlies LNG facilities to operational procedures to technical competency ofpersonnel. Second, the physical and chemical properties of LNG are such that risks and hazards are well understood andincorporated into technology and operations. Third the standards, codes and regulations that apply to the LNG industryfurther ensure safety.
