Floating LNG

Our proven end-to-end solutions and processes enable you to safely achieve profitability and reliability.

FLNG Golar

From feasibility studies to plant startup

Floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facilities provide flexibility that enables the monetization of assets through liquefaction of natural gas in remote areas. They reduce development costs and project timelines. FLNG solutions also are being considered for exporting onshore gas reserves or gas from an inland pipeline network by locating the liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facility near-shore.  

We have more than a half century of LNG experience with 35 plants in operation globally. Our patented efficient and simple PRICO® technology is modular and scalable — ideal for multiple types of LNG configurations, including both offshore and nearshore applications. PRICO® offers several innovative, low-cost FLNG configurations.   

Our PRICO® single mixed refrigerant (SMR) became the world’s first proven FLNG technology to achieve production on a floating facility in 2016. With more than 20 FLNG conceptual studies, pre-FEEDs and FEEDs under our belt, our solutions have expanded to include multiple configurations: 

  • Barge – Small to mid scale

  • Ship Shape – Mid scale

  • Conversion – Small to mid Scale

  • Existing / new LNG carrier

  • Existing bulk carrier 

FLNG Configurations Using PRICO® — Nearshore or Offshore

Unconventional (0.5 MTPA - 6.0 MTPA)  

  • Barge with minimal LNG storage using FSU near or at-shore application  

  • Conversion | MOSS LNGC conversion | Bulk carrier conversion | Membrane LNGC conversion  

Conventional (1.0 MTPA - 6.0 MTPA)  

  • New build  

  • Ship-shaped FLNG with LNG storage in hull  

  • Barge-shaped FLNG with LNG storage in hull  

Exmar Floating LNG

Cost competitive liquefied natural gas solutions

As a pioneer in liquefied natural gas (LNG) solutions with more than 50 years of experience around the globe, our team has the expertise to navigate your journey from feasibility studies to plant startup. We’re accelerating modularized LNG solutions through our “One Train, One Module” philosophy for onshore and offshore applications between the pipeline and storage tank. 

Small-Scale Liquefied Natural Gas

Small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) solutions are ideal for fast-to-market results, with remote installation capabilities and truckable modules and skids. We deliver small- scale LNG solutions through: 

  • Extensive PRICO® experience in the 10 to 40 MMSCFD range 

  • Modularly designed and constructed projects with truck-transportable skids or prefabricated piping sections containing high concentrations of valving and instrumentation 

  • Competitively priced projects due to standardized components and relationships with critical suppliers
