GasAtacama - Energía Limpia y Desarrollo...

ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY GASATACAMA PROJECT, BASED ON U.S. SHALE GAS
Stage 1: The process begins with the extraction of shale gas from gas fields in the U.S.
Stage 2: The Shale gas is transported through pipeline networks to the liquefaction terminal.
Stage 3: Transportation of LNG from the fields to the liquefaction plant on the shores of U.S.
Stage 4: LNG transport across the ocean by ship Tanker.
Stage 5: The trip includes Panama Canal crossing.
Stage 6: When the Ship Tanker arrive to the Bay Mejillones, transfers the gas for the Ship Tanker to Ship FSRU.
Stage 7: Since the FSRU vessel, the gas is taken to the Central Atacama to generate clean electricity.
Stage 8: Finally, the cycle ends with clean energy supply to large customers miners in northern Chile.
