How natural gas travels across oceans as a liquid
In short: Natural gas is rarely transported in its gaseous state over long distances. This video explains the complex industrial journey of LNG, from deep-earth extraction to global shipping and final delivery.
The process begins with extracting gas from underground reservoirs. To make it transportable across oceans, the gas undergoes liquefaction—a cooling process that allows it to be moved more efficiently via specialized ships. Shell employees provide first-hand insights into these logistics.
Once it reaches its destination, the LNG must undergo regasification before it can be delivered to end users. The video explores the reliable systems and global trading networks required to maintain a steady flow of energy from source to consumer.
