A pioneering $1bn Qatargas project aimed at recovering gas that would otherwise be flared during LNG ship loading at Ras Laffan is expected to be completed in 2014.
.
The Jetty Boil Off Gas (JBOG) Recovery Project is part of the Common Facilities Projects at Ras Laffan Industrial City. This will enable boiled-off gas to be collected from LNG ships and compressed at a central facility, Qatargas said in its latest newsletter.
.
The compressed gas will then be sent to the LNG producers and consumed as fuel or converted back into LNG.
.
The JBOG Project is one of the cornerstones of Qatargas’ overall flare management strategy and will be instrumental in the company’s drive to reduce and maintain total flaring at regulatory target levels in the long term to protect the environment.
.
The project, when fully operational, will recover the equivalent of some 0.6mn tonnes per year of LNG based on an expected 90% recovery efficiency during normal operations.
