Conversion of an Existing Membrane-Type LNG Carrier
We have been awarded Approval in Principle (AiP) for our Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) concept based on the conversion of an existing membrane-type LNG carrier by Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV). This projects adopts a flexible, cost-effective floating liquefaction solution, unlocking new opportunities for offshore gas resource development.
Unlocking Offshore Gas Resources
The EXMAR design converts an existing membrane-type LNG carrier into a Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) unit intended for operation in mild environments. The converted facility is designed to enable offshore gas processing, liquefaction and LNG storage, offering a flexible and cost-effective approach to gas monetization.
The FLNG concept is based on a membrane-type LNG carrier with an effective LNG storage capacity of approximately 170,000 m³ and a design life of 25 years. The facility is intended to unlock stranded gas resources, aiming at projects with low initial capital costs, a shorter timeline from final investment decision to production, and high efficiency requirements.
