Uitdagingen
License to operate
Extensive regulations and rules are applied to LNG plants from the viewpoint of HSE (Health, Safety, Environment). In addition to HSE concerns, comprehensive safety production systems which are resistant to cyber threats are more demanded by the critical infrastructure operators.
YOKOGAWA provides the production systems which conform to the regulations and rules for the smooth plant startup, and process analyzers to measure the emissions, reduce environmental impact and comply with environmental regulations.
YOKOGAWA also offers security consulting services to analyze the security risks of your systems and provides solutions based on its analysis in order to protect your assets from the threat of cyber-attacks.
Lower TCO
With over 45 years of LNG project experience, Yokogawa has significant engineering expertise. We know how to replace control systems without interrupting city gas production, and can ensure a seamless migration path and supply a full range of implementation services.
The main challenge in the LNG supply chain is responding quickly and accurately to shifts in demand. This is required both by regulations and contractual commitments to customers. Before any LNG facility enters commercial operation, it is important to identify essential plant KPIs and establish standardized procedures for manual intervention.
Plant Uptime
LNG plays an important role in the stable supply of energy to society. The stable operations for a long term while improving the production efficiencies are indispensable to the LNG process. YOKOGAWA contributes to the safe and stable operation by providing a long-term LNG project expertise and highly reliable control systems with 99.99999 availability.
During long-term LNG plants lifecycle, migration and expansion are required due to the aging systems and energy demand changes. YOKOGAWA offers the hot cutover without bothering LNG process and the quick start of LNG productions by integration with other systems.
To assure the process stability, YOKOGAWA’s worldwide service offices near LNG plants provide the high-quality customer support and service with 24/7 Global Response Center.
Digital Transformation
The rapid growth of IT technology is driving dramatic changes in business these days and adapting to the ever-evolving technologies of AI, IIOT, and Big Data are mandatory to all industries. Digital Transformation is one of the key values to increase the operational efficiency, asset utilization, and optimization of the supply chain in LNG industry.
YOKOGAWA contributes to your digitalization by offering ”MirrorPlant” that simulates the plant operation using actual plant data, and “Profit Driven Operation” that improves profitability by optimizing the key management goals in reference to industry oriented KPIs.

Production Control System: CENTUM VP
The single Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) database simplifies engineering. With graphics, alarm windows, and system status screens all having the same look and feel, operation is also easier.
Safety Instrumented System: ProSafe-RS
High availability of the ProSafe safety management system enables truly integrated solutions with Safety Integrity Level 1-4 (SIL1-4) certification. Regarding connectivity with upstream processes including wellheads and pipelines, we have achieved connectivity between ProSafe-RS, STARDOM, and the FAST/TOOLS SCADA system over a single network that is based on the Vnet/IP real-time control bus and dedicated to upstream processes. As a result, FAST/TOOLS can now monitor both the STARDOM and ProSafe-RS systems in an integrated manner.

Recently, several ARC Advisory Group analysts and management team members had a chance to sit down with the new Yokogawa President and COO, Mr. Takashi Nishijima, and several other top Yokogawa executives to discuss the company's burgeoning presence in the worldwide upstream and midstream oil & gas industry.
Over the past decade, companies have been using unconventional drilling technology to extract gas and liquid from the readily available shale formations in North America. As the industry gains experience, the production rates continue to rise based on better use of technology to locate resources and to decrease the time from exploration to production.
As LNG moves from a niche to a major area of the oil and gas industry, experienced suppliers are required to deliver the technologies that support it.
