Day
1: LNG's Expanding Fleet of Regas Ships - How Large Will
It Grow?
Identify planned regas ship projects; discuss total
potential size and potential locations for buoys worldwide.
Discuss lessons learned from the initial regas ship
project offshore of Louisiana.
Compare regas economics to conventional terminals
and discuss their complentary aspects to understand
how regas turrets and buoys might compete with conventional
terminals.
Review the value of supplementing LNG supply from
shore-based facilities.
Consider the technical and economic implications
of regas ships relative to conventional terminals.
Discuss the challenges of cold-water vaporization
and whether existing carriers can be converted to
regasification duty safely and thereby shorten the
delivery window for additional regas ships.
Examine how the U.S. moratorium on seawater vaporizers
will affect regas economics.
Consider how new technology like Remora's HiLoad
terminal might expand regas ship availability
Day 2: U.S Seawater Vaporization: Getting
to Resolution
Learn of the principal challenges to seawater vaporization
and discuss possible technologies to overcome them.
Learn of NOAA's concerns and timing for decisions
on whether seawater systems are viable and the effect
on "the clock" for U.S. Coast Guard deepwater
port license approvals.
Discuss EPA's perspectives and whether technologies
might be used to reduce the entrainment and impingement
of marine organisms.
Learn of biocide hazards and new technologies to
minize heat-exchange fouling.
Discuss at least one alternative proposed for offshore
seawater vaporization.
