Liquefaction Plant Process Flow
Chapter 3 : Floating Liquefaction
Liquefaction involves gas treatment,
liquefaction processes and storage of
LNG.
Prior to liquefaction, feed gas is put
through a removal process of contami-
nant and unwanted substances. Liquefaction compresses gas into
1/600th of its volume. The resulting
LNG is stored in tanks before being
offloaded to carriers.

A liquefaction process flow broadly involves
gas treatment, liquefaction and the storage
of LNG.
The gas treatment process includes acid gas
removal (also known as gas sweetening),
dehydration and heavy oil separation. Gas treatmentPrior to the liquefaction of gas, feed gas
is put through a removal process of con-
taminants and unwanted substances. This
protects the processing equipment and
achieves the specifications required by the
LNG market.
Acid gas removal (gas sweetening) is
carried out to remove environmental pol-
lutants from the natural gas feed. An amine
absorber is commonly used to absorb these
acidic gases such as hydrogen sulphide and
carbon dioxide. Sulphur is further extracted
from the hydrogen sulphide through the use
of a sulphur removal unit.Dehydration of the gas is further carried
out using an absorbent. Water is removed
from the treated gas to avoid the formation
of ice in the ensuing liquefaction process.
Heavy oil separation involves the removal
of heavier hydrocarbon components that
might cause plugging in process equipment
in the course of liquefaction. Efforts have
recently been made on the recovery of
these hydrocarbons. Liquefaction of treated gas
Major liquefaction processes include
the C3-MR (Propane Mixed Refrigerant
Process), AP-X, Cascade, Dual-Mixed
Refrigerant Technology (‘DMR’) and the
SMR methods. These methods require huge
energy input to drive the refrigeration com-
pressors. Liquefaction of the treated gas is
further discussed in the following pages.
Storage of treated gasOnce the gas is treated and liquefied, it
is stored in containment systems and of-
floaded to LNG carriers for transportation
to onshore or offshore re-gas facilities.

Offloading to Regasification Vessels
Chapter 3 : Floating Liquefaction
Side-by-side offloading can be achieved by either
loading arms or cryogenic hoses which are positioned
on the side of the ship. This offloading has been used
for crude and LPG for over 30 years and has been
proven between two LNG carriers.
A moored side by side operation is an important
option for offloading LNG FPSOs. The most critical
issues during the process are the loads in the moor-
ing lines between the two vessels and in the floating
fenders. These are determined by wave and wind
conditions as well as the loads on the two vessels.
Even in head waves the two vessels are likely to be
out of phase (jack knifing) which causes tension on
the mooring cables. Therefore side by side mooring
can only really be used in benign environments.
METHODS - Side-by-Side Transfer
Loading arms are alternatives to the direct hose
hookups for use on larger vessels. They are able to
execute transfers at higher loading rates and pres-
sure. Many FLNG concepts include loading arms
which are positioned on the side of the ship or at
the bow. They can handle both liquids and gases in a
range of temperatures. The system has to be drained
before breaking off connection.
Many companies such as FMC, Aker Solutions and
SBM offer loading arms for side by side, tandem or
ship to shore offloading. Shell’s Prelude FLNG project
will deploy the use of FMC Technologies’ offshore
loading arm systems.
Marine Loading Arms are made of several compo-
nents including the base riser, inboard arm and the
outboard arm.
EQUIPMENT - Loading Arms
Tandem offloading can involve aerial cryogenic hoses,
floating cryogenic hoses or loading arms. An aerial
arrangement involves the cryogenic hose being at-
tached to the bow manifold of the LNG carrier. A
typical floating arrangement is where the cryogenic
hose is attached to the mid ship manifold of the
LNG carrier, and floated in the sea between the two
vessels.
In environments where side by side is not possible,
tandem offloading becomes the most important form
of offloading.
Due to the relatively short distance between the
bow and stern of the two vessels and wave and
wind conditions, this is a highly complex operation.
In some conditions, differences in drafts can lead to
differences in the headings of the vessel, which adds
another dimension of complexity to the operation.
METHODS - Tandem OffloadingCryogenic hoses are flexible thermally isolated hoses
that have the ability to transfer both LNG at -162°C
and gas between FLNG vessels and LNG carriers.
Hoses can be used in environments where it may
be difficult to use loading arms, such as hostile sea
conditions where close contact between vessels is
too dangerous.
The first transfer of LNG between two vessels using
cryogenic hoses took place at the Teesside GasPort
(UK) in 2007.
EQUIPMENT - Cryogenic Hoses
LNG transfer has to be performed under most weather conditions at the offshore location. In open sea, this is a challenging operation and becomes even more difficult in harsh environments. Specialised equipment which provides safe
and efficient offloading is very important to operators.

Papua New GuineaAustraliaAustralasia is a key region for FLNG liquefac-
tion developers as it benefits from unconven-
tional gas reserves, such as coal bed methane.
All floating LNG expenditure will be in
export development. LiquefactionAustralasia will represent % of global
floating LNG export Capex and % of all
global FLNG Capex between 2015-2021,
an investment of $ bn. Most of these
developments will come from Australia; the
rest from activity in Papua New Guinea. The
topography of PNG reduces the economic
viability of building onshore and has encour-
aged development of projects such as Talis-
man’s Pandora FLNG and Liquid Niugini Gas’
Gulf FLNG projects.
The region is anticipating the arrival of Shell’s
Prelude FLNG development, due onstream
in 2017. The facility will have a capacity of
mmtpa and is currently being built at
Geoje Shipyard by the Technip-Samsung
consortium. The success of this landmark
project could lead to significant increases in
global Capex as financiers and operators gain
confidence in the technology. Specifically,
Woodside has mentioned making its FID on
the Browse FLNG project post the success-
ful delivery of Prelude.ExxonMobil and BHP Billiton have agreed to
develop the Scarborough gas field, km
offshore Western Australia, using a FLNG
vessel that will have processing capacity of
approximately mmtpa. Other key FLNG
projects in Australia include Browse FLNG
and Echuca Shoals FLNG.

Latin America will see an investment of
$ bn over 2015-2021, % of global spend
on floating LNG projects. % of the region’s
spend is on liquefaction facilities while %
is on import infrastructure.
Import
The region is home to five operational
floating units, all of which are located in
Argentina and Brazil. Golar LNG supplied
the FSRUs at Pecém Terminal (Golar Spirit
FSRU) and Guanabara Bay phase 1 (Golar
Winter FSRU); Excelerate is responsible
for Guanabara Bay (Experience FSRU),
Bahía Blanca GasPort, and the Puerto
Escobar LNG projects. Combined, these
projects provide Argentina and Brazil with
mmtpa of floating import capacity. Ex-
perience FSRU, the world’s largest FSRU, has
all output capacity of 1bcf/d and replaced
Golar Winter. Golar Winter is now deployed
to Brazil’s terminal in Bahía de Todos os
Santos, Salvador.
Over the forecast period, $ bn in
Capex is expected on floating import and
regasification facilities. Projects currently
under construction include Chile’s Mejillones
FSRU (Golar NB 13 FSRU), Argentina’s GNL
Puerto Cuatreros, Uruguay’s GNL Del Plata
FSRU and Puerto Rico’s Aguirre GasPort.
Other key projects include Jamaica’s Port
Esquivel FSRU, Chile’s Quintero Bay FSRU and
Dominican Republic’s Marcoris FSR
U.
Liquefaction
Floating liquefaction facilities are expected
to total $ bn for the period 2015-2021,
on the vessel Colombia FLSRU, the world’s
first floating LNG liquefaction, regasifica-
tion and storage unit. Expected onstream
in the earlier part of the forecast, it will be
situated in the Colombian Caribbean coast
and will have storage capacity of m3
of LNG. The FLRSU has regasification
facilities but its primary function is to liquefy
and export LNG produced from nearby
onshore fields.
Previously, Petrobras’ ultra-deepwater
pre-salt fields would have seen one of the
region’s first FLNG liquefaction vessels
come onstream. However, plans for this
unit have been put on hold in favour of
pipelines. Falling gas prices in the region
exacerbated by the United States’ expected
exports of shale gas outputs will threaten
Petrobras’ plans for a floating liquefaction
unit. Petrobras has already shelved its plans
for an FLNG vessel in the Santos Basin.

Floating Liquefaction – Onshore Cost Comparison
Chapter 2 : Why Floating LNG?
Floating liquefaction removes high cost
variables such as pipelines, lowering
overall Capex.
Onshore terminals have seen EPC
costs exceed $1,500 per tpa. LNG
FPSOs could offer an estimated Capex
of $800 per tpa.

OnshoreOffshore FloatingLinear (Onshore)
Onshore terminal costsThe cost of onshore LNG terminals has
been consistently increasing over the past
15 years with no indication of decline; some
onshore LNG facilities have seen EPC costs
as high as $1,500 per tonne per annum.
Other costs, apart from the Capex associ-
ated with the terminal construction and
design, are accumulated during the develop-
ment of an onshore LNG project. Assuming the field is located offshore, other
infrastructure is also required in order
to extract the gas, including production
platforms, subsea wells and subsea pipelines
from the production platform to the on-
shore terminal.
Floating terminal costsA floating offshore LNG terminal eliminates
the need for costly production platforms
and export pipelines, lowering overall
Capex for the project. The figure shows
that the pipeline to shore can be more than
10% of project costs (or $200 per mmtpa)
in some cases.
Furthermore, LNG FPSOs can be con-
structed in the controlled environment of
a shipyard unlike onshore terminals, which
are typically constructed in-situ ‘stick-build’
or transported to site in modular form.
FLNG developers are aiming for costs be-
tween $700 and $900 per tonne of annual
liquefaction capacity depending on the feed
gas specifications and other project specific
costs. “FLNG is a reasonably cheaper solu-
tion, but project financing does not
allow this at the moment as lending
money for the project is risky with-
out any FLNG vessels in operation.
Currently, all FLNG vessels are being
built using the Operators’ money.” Major FLNG EPC contractor

Shipyard Review
Chapter 5 : FLNG Supply Chain
The key shipyards involved in LNG projects are located in South Korea, Japan and Singapore. South Korean yards lead in the areas of newbuild floating regasification and newbuild floating liquefaction vessel construction. To date, only
DSME and Samsung Heavy Industries have sanctioned projects for LNG FPSOs, positioning them as market leaders in floating liquefaction. Hyundai Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are poised to begin construction on
floating liquefaction vessels. Dubai Drydocks have involved themselves in the construction of the pioneer LNG FPSOs through the construction of Prelude FLNG’s turret. We can expect shipyards with construction expertise in floating
regasification vessels, FPSOs, and LNG carriers, to have the necessary qualifications and facilities to construct FLNG vessels.
Projects indicated refer to those already sanctioned or expressed interest with capability to execute.

Floating LNG industry set for land-mark project start-ups and further new wave of growthDespite a current pause in commitments to new projects, the capital expenditure (Capex) for FLNG vessels is expected to amount to $35.5bn over 2015-2021. Spending on FSRUs will total $22.8bn over the same period, taking the combined expendi-ture for the Floating LNG market to $58.3bn.
There is a huge interest in the pioneering projects that will drive market spend over the coming years. Future commitments by operators to the FLNG market hinges on the success of these pioneering projects.
The delivery of Petronas’ PFLNG 1, also known as the PFLNG SATU, will be the world’s first FLNG vessel to start operations on its completion by the end of 2016. This will be followed by Shell’s Prelude FLNG vessel, a significantly larger project and one that is likely to shape future FLNG developments. Construction of the 488 metres long facility started in 2012 (the unit is being built by Samsung in Korea) and is expected to start up by 2017.
Following these projects is a second wave of new projects that are yet to be sanctioned but are ex-pected to drive a growth in expenditure from 2019 onwards. This includes major projects in frontier regions such as East Africa.
DW anticipates more floating regasification units are to be sanctioned, with Asia and Latin America
being the dominant regions. Upcoming projects are visible in Indonesia, China, Pakistan, India, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, mostly led by National Oil Companies. Latin America will see deployments of floating regas units in Chile and Puerto Rico.
