To answer this correctly, you need to know what the most dangerous concentration of oxygen with natural gas is. Natural gas can only be ignited in a concentration of 10 to 12% oxygen. Too much it won't ignite (the gaseous form of gas would be too diluted to ignite and sustain a flame), and too little it won't ignite, it needs oxygen.
Now if the gas is liquefied, it will not mix well with oxygen, which is still gaseous (it boils at -183F), such that any natural gas boiling off the liquid will, in all likelihood, mix with any gaseous oxygen in that concentration until it becomes an explosive mixture. All natural gas tanks (bulk storage only) are vented to allow a small amount of gas to evaporate off, producing a cooling effect on the tank, and lowering the pressure required to maintain the gas in the liquid form. This venting and cooling also serves to remove any dissolved oxygen from the LNG and vents it to the atmosphere.
Bottom line, no oxygen mixed with LNG is safe. Levels must be kept to a minimum to prevent explosions.

How do you test oxygen content in canned product?
To test oxygen content in a canned product, you should use an oxygen absorber packet. This can tell you (not exact) how much oxygen is in something, like a package.
Is natural gas a liquid gas or solid?
Natural gas in its normal form is a gas. When natural gas is cooled to a temperature of -162 degrees C, it is compressed into a liquid is is 1/600th its original size. Liquefied natural gas is much easier to transport then compressed natural gas.
What would happen to something burning if there was only oxygen and no nitrogen?
Anything that burns in the natural atmosphere, which is only about one fifth oxygen, would burn much faster in pure oxygen.
Why chlorine requires low temperature to get liquefied?
Temperature is much more aesthetic than low, imho
How much of the air oxygen?
21% of the atmosphere is oxygen.

Does the content of oxygen in water decreases when water is boiled for too long?
When you boil water the oxygen content is reduced to zero. (All gasses are driven out,) Boiling it longer doesn't have much effect.
What percent of oxygen to much to support life?
The percent of oxygen is 27. this increases the natural percent of 21 by 6 percent causing living organisms to have too much oxygen.
When water temperature increases what will the dissolved oxygen content do?
The amount of dissolved oxygen decreases when water temperature increases. Warm water is unable to dissolve as much oxygen gas.
Does olive oil have any oxygen?
Yes. Small amount. If you air it to much, the oxygen content can go up creating a more oxidizing oil.
Can you feed a rabbit melon?
Yes, but don't feed it so much as they have a high natural sugar content.
What would happen to something burning if there was only oxygen and no nitrogen?
Anything that burns in the natural atmosphere, which is only about one fifth oxygen, would burn much faster in pure oxygen.
Is oxygen 15 natural or synthetic?
Naturally occurring as it is a stable element. Synthetic means man made and it would be pointless to make oxygen when there is so much of it floating around in the air or in water even if it could be done.
In addition to how much oxygen and nutrient content a body of fresh water has what three other factors affect its variety and productivity?
it has 40 percent
Why chlorine requires low temperature to get liquefied?
