How is Natural Gas exported overseas without a pipeline?

Question

So like the title says how is natural gas packaged and shipped overseas when there is no pipeline?

I understand oil and gas is shipped in barrels, is it the same for natural gas? Is it kept in pressurized containers like the propane you pick up at gas stations?

Answer 1

In large tanks, at high pressure. Often but not necessarily in liquid form. Also oil is transported in large tanks, not in barrels. A barrel of oil is a measurement (42 US gallons) which no longer corresponds with any common sized barrel.
