Claim 0:
1. A method for processing, storing and transporting natural gas from supply source to market, comprising
receiving natural gas on a production barge comprising processing equipment modules configured to produce a compressed gas liquid (CGL) product comprising a liquid phase mixture of natural gas and a hydrocarbon liquid solvent in a liquid medium form, wherein the hydrocarbon liquid solvent includes one or more of ethane, propane and butane, wherein the production barge is moveable between gas supply locations,
producing on the production barge a supply of CGL product for storage and transport,
loading the CGL product from the production barge onto a marine transport vessel comprising a containment system configured to store the CGL product at storage pressures and temperatures at selected points in the ranges of −40F to −80F, and 900 psig to 2150 psig and associated with storage densities for the natural gas that exceeds the storage densities of compressed natural gas (CNG) for the same storage pressures and temperatures, and
recirculating the stored CGL product on the marine transport vessel to maintain temperatures and pressures of the stored CGL product at selected points in the ranges −40F to −80F, and 900 psig to 2150 psig.
