Strengthening midstream risk frameworks for LNG expansion
In this episode, we sat down with Ali Rizvi, North America LNG Leader at Marsh to discuss how risk and resilience strategies are evolving for pipelines directly tied to LNG facilities, and why coverage solutions like delay in start-up and business interruption are becoming central to project design. Ali breaks down how proactive risk management can improve financing outcomes for multibillion-dollar LNG ventures, including real examples where comprehensive risk frameworks smoothed the path to final investment decision.
We also examine the unique operational and insurability challenges pipelines face when linked to liquefaction terminals, and how performance data, maintenance strategy and safety culture can translate into materially better insurance terms—especially for aging infrastructure. Finally, we close with practical, high-impact risk management advice for LNG developers and pipeline operators entering the next surge of global project development.
