The increased share of natural gas in the energy matrix of Brazil is leading the Brazilian Oil, Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP) to improve its LNG facility standards and regulations, as well as to re-edit and create new resolutions. ANP benefits from a vast body of international literature including guidance documents, standards and regulations. The international LNG literature is diversified, involving from offshore production ships (FLNG) to LNG transoceanic carriers and from import/export cryogenic terminals to regasification units for injection of natural gas in pipeline networks. In addition, many interested players are involved including government agencies, developers, industry, classification societies, critics and the public in general. To address all facets and ensure an adequate level of safety, it is necessary to use the best practices in each of the individual areas: production, transportation, liquefaction plants, cryogenic terminals and regasification units. To facilitate the understanding of the available literature, this report presents an overview on standards and regulations, as well as insights on how to define and to apply the concepts of exclusion and safety zones around LNG installations. It also addresses prescriptive and performance-based aspects of regulations, as they apply to LNG.
