Bahrain LNG was established in December 2015. Bahrain LNG owns and operates an offshore LNG terminal where liquefied natural gas is received, stored. Onshore Bahrain LNG has a receiving facility which is capable of producing upto 1,100 tonnes of Nitrogen per day.
The Bahrain LNG facility has a receiving and storage capacity of 173,400 cbm, and a regasification capacity of up to 800 mmscfd.
LNG carriers supply LNG to the terminal which is received and stored on the Seapeak Bahrain which acts as a Floating Storage Unit (FSU). The FSU is permanently moored at the offshore terminal.
The regasification of the LNG is done on the offshore regasification platform using Open Rack Vapourisers, with the gas being transported to the onshore receiving facility through a subsea pipeline.
Onshore the regasified LNG is mixed with nitrogen to make it compatible with the Bahrain gas network and is then transported through another pipeline to the gas delivery point at the Hidd Metering Station.
