DNV GL Sets Up LNG Consulting Unit in Singapore

With an aim to support extensive development of LNG and gas infrastructure in Asia, DNV GL announced Tuesday it is establishing a dedicated LNG and gas consulting unit in Singapore.

“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,” Arve Johan Kalleklev, newly appointed regional manager for Oil & Gas in South East Asia stated.

Kalleklev stressed that huge investments will be needed in South East Asia’s gas and LNG infrastructure by 2035 to meet energy demand. “This will secure robust growth in LNG supply. The Pacific Basin has some of the largest exporters of LNG, but also some of the oldest plants-many more than 20 years old.”

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, the company said.
