Despite COVID-19 impacts on
demand and supply, global LNG
trade continued its upward trend
in 2020 for another consecutive
year of growth, reaching 356.1
MT.
China, India, Chinese Taipei, the
United States (Puerto Rico), and
Brazil increased net imports
through expansion of import
capacity.

2. Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG)
A floating LNG (FLNG) is an LNG plant constructed on a ship or a barge which has
LNG storage and offloading facilities.
The FLNG accomplishes the gas treatment and liquefaction (production of LNG)
from the natural gases produced in gas fields, and the storage/offloading of
product LNG to LNG carriers for ocean transportation.

8. As global liquefied natural gas trade continues to expand rapidly, the challenge of
liquefaction process selection becomes increasingly important. Selecting more
versatile and cost-effective liquefaction technologies that meet stringent
emissions standards will be a key focus for new projects as governments and
companies commit to decarbonisation efforts.
Cost estimates for most new projects suggest that they will be able to profitably
deliver to stronger import markets, such as China and Southeast Asia, which are
expected to see larger increases in LNG imports during this period.

4.2 Scope of Project
10
To install a Floating Liquefaction Natural Gas in order to provide the facilities
required to:

4.5 Risk of Project
Risk Factors Impact on LNG Project Development
Projects Economics Long-term sales contracts that allow for a sufficient return typically underpin the financing of LNG projects. High
project costs or changing market prices can have a large impact.
Politics & Geopolitics Permitting may be time consuming.
Regulatory Approvals Regulatory approval may be costly and extends to the approval of upstream development and pipeline
construction.
Partner Priorities Not all partners are equally committed to a project and face different constraints depending on their respective
portfolios. Ensuring alignment in advance of an FID may be difficult.
Ability to Execute Partners must have the technical, operational, financial, and logistical capabilities to fully execute a project.
Certain complex projects may present additional technical hurdles that could impact project feasibility.
Business Cycle Larger economic trends.
Feedstock Availability The overall availability of gas to supply an LNG project may be limited by technical characteristics of the associated
fields.
Marketing/Contracting Project developers generally need to secure long-term LNG buyers for a large portion of project capacity before
sanctioning a project.

4. FLNG Project
4.6 Advantages
Fast track solution that can fill sudden need of gas.
Competitive costs for temporary, shorter-term operation.
Overcome onshore site limitations.
To reduce the infrastructure and environmental impact on onshore since FLNG
does not require the coastal development.
To be built in fabrication yards where facilities and practices are well-
established for construction of the topsides modules and hull without
constraints of the countries or regions of the gas field or onshore LNG plant,
which secures the efficiency and the safety of construction.
