Application of Systems Analysis Methods to the Analysis of Liquefied Natural Gas Transportation System

The methods of system analysis for the analysis of the oil and gas industry are investigated. The authors investigate the influence of production factors on the workload of the natural gas processing plant's transport system. The results of calculations of a multidimensional correlation and regression analysis of the functioning of the LNG transport system are presented. The above analysis results were used as judgments about the efficiency of the production process of LNG transportation to foreign regions. As part of the solution to the problem of optimizing technical capacities, a simulation model of the monthly operation of the LNG loading and shipping berth was built. Based on the data obtained, recommendations were made to improve the technical and economic performance of the Sakhalin-2 plant.
