  • Method for handling liquified natural gas (LNG)
    Patent number: 6517286
    Abstract: A system for handling liquified natural gas (LNG) wherein (a) the LNG is delivered into a subterranean formation such that the LNG absorbs heat energy from the subterranean formation and is thereby converted to a gas product and (b) the gas is then produced from the subterranean formation. The subterranean formation is preferably a depleted offshore gas formation having an offshore production platform which is modified to receive LNG from marine transport vessels which are unloaded at an offshore receiving station.
