LNG Advance Course & Site Visit (31 August-3 September, Thailand)

From Classroom Learning to Real-World LNG Operations

COURSE & WORKSHOP 2026

The LNG Advance Course & Site Visit 2026 brought together industry learning and practical exposure to LNG infrastructure in Thailand.

The four-day program combined three days of intensive classroom sessions in Bangkok with a site visit to PTT LNG's Map Ta Phut terminals.

Designed to deepen participants' understanding of the LNG industry, the course explored the technical, commercial, and financial aspects of the LNG value chain, connecting industry knowledge with practical applications and operational perspectives.

Inside the Learning Sessions

The classroom sessions covered a broad range of advanced LNG topics, including LNG properties and processes, safety, industrial applications, LNG market dynamics, shipping, and downstream operations.

Participants were also introduced to the financial and commercial dimensions of LNG development, including value chain cost analysis, capital budgeting, project financing, and LNG plant project economics.

Beyond the Classroom: PTT LNG Site Visit

A key highlight of the program was the visit to PTT LNG Company Limited (PTTLNG) at the Map Ta Phut LNG terminals on 3 September 2026.

The visit provided an opportunity to explore LNG receiving and regasification infrastructure, including the Central Control Room at LNG Map Ta Phut Terminal 2 (LMPT2) and the process area at Terminal 1 (LMPT1).

Participants also visited the Flora Exhibition Hall, where cold energy recovered from LNG regasification is utilized for indoor climate control, demonstrating an innovative application of LNG-related energy efficiency.

This experience connected classroom discussions with real-world LNG terminal operations and infrastructure management.
