LNG technology

S. Mokhatab, Gas Processing Consultant, Canada As global demand for natural gas increases, interest in unlocking and monetizing stranded gas reserves in ultra-deep waters that are difficult to develop with conventional technology will return. This makes floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) a technically innovative solution for liquefying natural gas and a commercially viable means of exploiting remote offshore gas reserves, while at the same time providing an economically preferable option to flaring associated gas.1 FLNG production technology may offer lower production costs, reduced time to first production, improved environmental performance and potentially increased security of facili
