Virtual LNG distribution pipelines

Expanding LNG access where pipelines are not viable

Expanding energy access through modular LNG distribution networks

Sener develops Virtual LNG distribution pipelines to bring liquefied natural gas to regions where building conventional pipelines is not technically or economically feasible. By combining mid-scale liquefaction plants with fleets of LNG tankers and satellite regasification stations, we provide a flexible, competitive, and secure supply solution that strengthens energy access and reduces dependence on centralized infrastructure.

We deliver energy access through modular, scalable solutions

 

Our multidisciplinary know-how in large-scale projects is transferred to modular, distributed networks that supply homes, industries, and smaller power plants, creating smart gas grids that are modular and adaptable to demand fluctuations. We deliver local solutions that make energy accessible where it is needed most.

Why choose us 

Sener combines deep experience in LNG terminals, cryogenic storage, and marine works with proven expertise in modular distribution concepts. This knowledge enables us to design virtual networks that are robust, efficient, and integrated into existing energy systems. Our role as EPC contractor covers the full scope—from liquefaction plants and logistics chains to satellite regasification stations and local distribution.

Our Virtual LNG distribution pipelines projects demonstrate how we adapt infrastructure to client needs. By integrating liquefaction, transport, and regasification, we build modular systems that can expand in step with demand growth. This scalability makes our solutions especially valuable for industrial clusters, remote areas, or developing markets where reliability and flexibility are critical. 

How we work 

We start by analyzing demand centers, distances to LNG supply points, and transportation options. In design, our engineers model the logistics chain, optimize cryogenic tank sizes, and plan for regasification capacity at satellite stations. Implementation is carried out under EPC contracts that include liquefaction plants, transport fleets, and regasification sites, with strict adherence to safety and environmental standards. Finally, in operation, we provide monitoring systems and O&M services that guarantee efficiency across the entire virtual network.

We ensure efficiency and resilience across the distribution chain

Our methodology ensures that every component of the Virtual LNG distribution pipeline—from tankers to regasification units—is integrated into a cohesive system. By embedding digital monitoring and predictive maintenance, we guarantee that networks operate efficiently, adapt to demand changes, and maintain resilience even in remote or challenging environments. This makes Sener a reliable partner for long-term energy security.
