LNG Workshop Program 2023
Below you will find the our LNG Workshop Program for our upcoming 2023 session on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), from the techno-economic aspects and through the LNG lifecycle. Hosted by Matt Taher (Bechtel Energy), this event will bring together experts from all across the industry to discuss the latest advances in this rapidly growing field. Attendees can expect to gain a comprehensive understanding of all aspects including production, transportation and economic considerations.
Join us as we explore the future of this exciting sector!
