DNV GL looks to South East Asia
DNV GL is addressing energy demand in South East Asia, which is expected to grow at twice the rate of the rest of the world, with a dedicated LNG and Gas Consulting unit in Singapore.
It is estimated that US$460bn will need to be invested in South East Asia’s gas and LNG infrastructure by 2035 to meet 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,” said Arve Johan Kalleklev, who was recently appointed regional manager for oil and gas in the region.
DNV GL says the new unit will support development plans for a safe, secure and reliable gas and LNG infrastructure in Asia.
“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,” Mr Kalleklev added.
The unit will bring together local talent, 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.
