In the history of FLNG development there were significant achievements recently, with symbolic events, namely the Petronas FLNG Satu started her LNG production in December 2016 in Malaysia and the Prelude FLNG having been sailed away to her destination in Australia in mid-2017. Since the concept of floating LNG was discussed by the industry in the 1990's, it has taken nearly three decades for the dream to come true through the resolution of technical and commercial challenges. The Petronas FLNG2 and the Eni Coral South FLNG will follow, to be delivered together with LNG carrier conversion solutions. The authors together with their colleagues have been deeply involved in all phases of the development programme, from concept selection, definition and execution in delivery of the majority of these projects. This paper captures our actual experience, challenges and lessons learned, and address our observations to facilitate further improvements and enhancements in project delivery, competitiveness, quality and safety. |
