DNV GL meets Asian energy demand with new Singapore LNG and gas unit

The unit will support the extensive development plans for a safe, secure and reliable gas and LNG infrastructure in Asia.

It is estimated that USD 460bn will need to be invested in South East Asia’s gas and LNG infrastructure by 2035 to meet energy demand.

“This will secure robust growth in LNG supply,” said Kalleklev. “The Pacific Basin has some of the largest exporters of LNG, but also some of the oldest plants-many more than 20 years old.”

“By establishing the LNG and Gas Consulting unit, DNV GL is demonstrating its continued commitment to Singapore’s ambition of becoming Asia’s natural gas hub. I believe DNV GL has an important role to play as an independent partner with more than 50 years of experience at the forefront of the LNG industry. We have the technical knowledge and global insight to support the industry across the entire oil and gas value chain.”

The new unit will bring together local talent with strong support from DNV GL’s wide international network of experts, combined with access to unique testing and training facilities. These include DNV GL's Spadeadam fire and explosion test site and natural gas flow centre in the UK and natural gas calibration and testing facility in the Netherlands.

Energy demand in South East Asia is expected to grow at twice the rate of the rest of the world.
