Record LNG Infrastructure Buildout Presents Challenges for EPC Firms
The global LNG infrastructure expansion, exceeding $90 billion, is imposing significant pressures on EPC firms. Successful adaptation to digital transformation and data integration is critical for optimizing execution and meeting project timelines.

The LNG sector is experiencing unprecedented growth with over $90 billion in capital commitments for infrastructure projects. Major contributors include the US, Australia, and Qatar, with significant capacity expected to come online between 2026 and 2028.
EPC firms face challenges as outdated technologies hinder project management and data utilization. Solutions like prescriptive AI and unified data platforms are being adopted to improve operational efficiency, as demonstrated by SCG Chemicals and AP Consultoria. The IEA anticipates a 7% growth in global LNG trade in 2026, emphasizing the need for EPCs to deliver projects on time and optimize operational capabilities through radical collaboration and advanced data management strategies.
