Floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) production facilities have revolutionized the offshore energy landscape, offering innovative solutions for offshore LNG production and storage. These complex assets require technical expertise, global regulatory knowledge and innovative solutions to meet operational, sustainability and safety goals.

A floating LNG (FLNG) is an LNG plant constructed on a ship or a barge which has LNG storage and offloading facilities. The FLNG accomplishes the gas treatment and liquefaction (production of LNG) from the natural gases produced in offshore gas fields, and the storage/offloading of product LNG to LNG carriers for ocean transportation.

2014年6月1日 · Subsea pipeline to onshore LNG process plant in the case of LNG FPSO and onshore receiving facility in the case of LNG FSRU are not required anymore, and thus the integrated LNG facility will provide one-stop solution to combine and simplify the LNG process plant, which has better safety performance with floating type storage and offloading ...

Floating above an offshore natural gas field, the FLNG facility produces liquefied stores and transfers LNG (and potentially LPG and condensate) at sea before carriers ship it to markets.

2018年8月24日 · Floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) is not just a term that rolls elegantly off the tongue but one also used to describe an offshore facility floating above a natural gas field. FLNGs produce, liquefy, store and transfer liquefied natural gas via carrier ship to the mainland where both the market and the money is based.

2019年1月7日 · The subsea system for the Prelude FLNG involves 14 subsea risers and six umbilicals. The FLNG vessel houses three LNG processing trains to treat the gas and liquefy it to -162°C. It also features seven offshore footless marine loading arms, including four LNG loading arms and three liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) loading arms.

FLNG offers many advantages over conventional onshore liquefaction plants: Can be located at the offshore field avoiding the high cost of a subsea pipeline to shore. Can be built in a shipyard with higher productivity and often lower labour rates than the construction of a conventional onshore liquefaction plant.

2023年11月20日 · According to Golar LNG, owner and operator of LNG midstream infrastructure, the FLNG Gimi departed Singapore’s Seatrium shipyard on November 19, 2023, and is now sailing under its own propulsion, supported by an escort tug, toward BP’s purpose-built Greater Tortue Ahmeyim hub offshore Mauritania and Senegal.

FLNGs are floating production facilities where natural gas from subsea reservoirs is converted into liquid hydrocarbons to form a more practical means for storage transport.

2015年9月28日 · The objectives of this study are: (a) The investigation of the main technical factors affecting the preliminary design and cost estimation of a ‘Subsea-to-Beach’ subsea production system (SPS) and, indirectly, of a floating LNG (FLNG) offshore development; (b) The identification of the ‘key’ factors, seen as the real differentiators in ...
