LNG 2023 - Vancouver 

10-13 July 2023
Vancouver Convention Centre
B.C. Canada

Chevron and Qatar Energy

The LNG sector is one of continuous innovation along the entire value chain: indeed, 50% of upcoming LNG capacity has some form of carbon mitigation technology embedded into the development concept. In Operations and Best Practice sessions, project directors, specialist engineers and environmental policy makers from EPCs, LNG project operators and terminal operators will learn of world-class case studies and best practice in safety, digitalisation and automation, efficiency measures, emissions reduction technologies and reliability.
