 For the US the 2000-2004 recession was the worst in its history
 26 PE production lines closed
 2015-2020 surge in North America
 15 worldscale PE production lines under construction
 12 additional worldscale lines being planned
• Average capacity of each of these 27 PE production lines is 475
kilotons/year, about 10x the capacity of plants closed in the last recession

Upstream Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Value Chain
Exploration and production
This step consists of activities related
to the discovery and extraction of
natural gas. Onshore and offshore
platforms collect gas from drilling wells,
and then transport it to liquefaction
facilities.
Liquefaction
A liquefaction facility cools gas
to -162˚C, at atmospheric
pressure. In liquid state the
condensed gas is reduced to
1/600th of its volume, allowing
for economical transportation.

Shipping
The LNG is loaded onto specially built ships
designed to hold super-cooled gas. LNG can
be transported to any country in the world with
a regasification terminal.

Receiving, Storage
and Regasification
In the receiving terminal the
LNG can be stored as a liquid,
where it can be distributed as
a cryogenic gas, or it can be
warmed, converting it back to
Source: BG Group gas for distribution.
