Where is the Yamal project located?
Russia
Yamal LNG (Russian: ОАО “Ямал СПГ”) is a joint venture based around a liquefied natural gas plant located in Sabetta at the north-east of the Yamal Peninsula, Russia.
Where is Sabetta?
Sabetta (Russian: Сабетта) is the location of a port and LNG plant—Yamal LNG—on the Yamal Peninsula, in the north of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.
What is a train in oil and gas?
An LNG train is a liquefied natural gas plant’s liquefaction and purification facility. Each LNG plant consists of one or more trains to convert natural gas into liquefied natural gas. A typical train consists of a compression area, propane condenser area, methane, and ethane areas.

Who created LNG?
scientist Michael Faraday
The LNG process was first discovered in 1820 by British scientist Michael Faraday who successfully chilled natural gas to turn it into a liquefied form. Around 100 years later, the first LNG plant was constructed in West Virginia.
How many trains does LNG have in Qatar?
Qatargas’ onshore facilities include 14 LNG trains, of which 6 are ‘mega-trains’ (each with a capacity of 7.8 mtpa). For pipeline sales gas to the domestic market, Qatargas operates the Al Khaleej Gas (AKG) trains, AKG-1 and AKG-2, supplying approximately two bscfd.
Why is the Yamal megaproject being carried out?
Yamal project, also referred to as Yamal megaproject, is a long-term plan to exploit and bring to the markets the vast natural gas reserves in the Yamal Peninsula, Russia. Administratively, the project is located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The project is developed by Gazprom.
When was the Yamal project built?
2013
A Complex Yet Highly Competitive Project Launched in late 2013, Yamal LNG is one of the largest and most complex LNG projects in the world. But it is also one of the most competitive, as it leverages the immense onshore gas resources of Russia’s Yamal Peninsula.
Where is natural gas stored?
Natural gas is usually stored underground, in large storage reservoirs. There are three main types of underground storage: depleted gas reservoirs, aquifers, and salt caverns. In addition to underground storage, however, natural gas can be stored as liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Are LNG ships safe?
LNG as marine fuel has a proven safety record with well-established standards, guidelines and operating protocols. The bulk LNG transportation industry, where LNG is commonly used as a fuel for the transporting vessel, has an excellent safety record.
