Prospects for Liquid Natural Gas Floating Production Storage and Offloading Systems (LNG FPSO)
Review of LNG FPSO projects is presented. LNG FPSO is self-propelled offshore vessel or barge for offshore LNG production which contains connection with subsea production system, gas treating system, LNG plant, LNG and condensate storages, unloading system. LNG FPSO provide capability for small offshore gas fields development and monetization, for application at early stages of large gas fields development or for others schemes of application. Features of the most interesting LNG FPSO projects such as Air Products, Shell, Flex LNG, SBM Offshore и Linde, INPEX and others are considered.
