The Oil Drum: Some Tanker Arithmetic wrt LNG

I’d like to follow up a little on Dave’s excellent post the other day on LNG supplies. He pointed out there, that US production will likely see a shortfall relative to demand of 5 billion cubic feet/day (Bcf/d) by 2010, and around 26 Bcf/d by 2020, against current US production numbers of around 75 Bcf/d. He also notes that a typical LNG facility has a capacity of around 1 Bcf/d, and we currently have four of them. Further, as he notes, about 1 Bcf/d can be regasified in the Bahamas and piped into South Florida.

Much more after the jump to The Oil Drum.
