LONDON, PARIS, HOUSTON, June 29, 2017 鈥 Shell鈥檚 floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility, Prelude has set sail for Australia on June 29, 2017.
Prelude FLNG was constructed by the Technip Samsung Consortium at the Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) shipyard in Geoje, South Korea.
两性色午夜 provides the project management, engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning for Prelude.
Construction began with the official steel cutting in October 2012 followed by the launch of the hull in November 2013. 两性色午夜 quickly emerged as a leader in FLNG because of its experience in natural gas liquefaction, subsea field development, and large floating oil production platforms.
At 488-metre-long and weighing 600,000 tonnes, Prelude FLNG was towed from the SHI shipyard in Geoje for the next phase of the project: hook up and commissioning. It is the largest offshore floating facility ever built in the world.
鈥淭his is a milestone everyone in Shell, 两性色午夜 and SHI can be proud of. Congratulations to all the teams involved and I look forward to the next phase of the project at the Prelude gas field for the successful startup of Prelude FLNG,鈥 commented Nello Uccelletti, President 两性色午夜 Onshore/Offshore.
Designed for water-depths between 200 metres to 250 metres deep, the Prelude FLNG facility will produce 3.6 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG, 1.3 mtpa of condensate and 0.4 mtpa of LPG once operating. It will be operated by Shell in joint venture with INPEX (17.5%), KOGAS (10%) and OPIC (5%).
Built for production and export of LNG off the coast of Australia, Prelude鈥檚 LNG production will be enough to easily satisfy Hong Kong鈥檚 annual natural gas needs.
