LNG liquefaction technologies: an overview?
…for LNG in transport. How does FLNG differ? Space aboard an FLNG will always be at a premium. This favors more compact equipment. Lower exclusion distances might also confine the…
LNG plant footprints: compaction costs?
…requires less pre-processing; and worker counts are as much as 4x lower, due to phased, modular construction designs (see below). FLNG is c20x more compact than typical international projects but…
Development Concepts: how much CO2?
…efficient use of construction materials per barrel of production. Fixed leg platforms are higher, then gravity based structures, then FLNG, and finally offshore wind (by a factor of 30x). …
Floating LNG: do the costs work?
A 2.5MTpa Floating LNG vessel using the Golar/PRICO process would cost c$700/tpa, or $1.1/mcfe. A $2.5/mcf liquefaction-spread is therefore needed for a 10% return. The key economic risk is ‘uptime’….
