Offshore LNG Mega-Module Solution

Abstract

Offshore floating LNG can offer an optimum CAPEX solution either for the development of large or stranded gas fields, including full processing functions, or as an enabler to oil production while monetizating associated gas. The offshore LNG mega-module solution was developed to meet the challenge of producing competitive LNG offshore, leading to the next generation of floating LNG facilities. This paper decribes the offshore LNG mega-module innovative solution of which the features are patent pending. The design features are highlighted, then the specifics of combining topsides with hull are presented, followed by the installation particulars. Finally, perspectives and savings in using this solution are presented.
