YOU ARE HERE: HOME > HomeFLEX LNG is an innovative company founded with the purpose of bringing LNG production
offshore by commercialising the world’s first floating LNG production units (FLNG).
The LNG industry has been constrained by slow development of new supply due to
delays in onshore developments resulting from escalating engineering, procurement
and construction costs as well as political uncertainty. FLEX LNG has four units
on order from Samsung Heavy Industries in Korea.
The LNG Producer (LNGP) developed by FLEX LNG is a self-propelled offshore LNG
production vessel. It is designed to pre-treat, liquefy, store and offload LNG.
The feed gas can be supplied either directly from a natural gas field, from a
wellhead platform, as associated gas from a nearby oil FPSO, or from an onshore
natural gas source or pipeline.
FLEX LNG's LNGP will provide additional supply of LNG to the world market within an attractive timeframe. The LNGP benefits from a very attractive construction time compared to large onshore projects. It enables the un-locking of natural gas resources that until now have been commercially “stranded” and maybe most importantly: the solution will provide a lower CAPEX per ton of LNG production compared to onshore plants. The overall design principle for the FLEX LNG LNGP has been to maximise the use
of proven and robust technologies to achieve a safe and reliable concept. Focus
has been on simplifying the design and removing unnecessary complexity for successful
implementation of onshore technology in a marine environment.
By developing the world’s first FLNG production unit, FLEX LNG takes a leading
role in providing floating liquefaction capacity to the world market.
FLEX LNG's Business Management System is ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certified.
