US-listed New Fortress Energy will select a gas field on which to deploy its first quick start-up concept floating LNG unit in the next 30 to 60 days and expects FLNG production to have become mainstream within five years.

Speaking in what turned into a two-hour investor briefing, chairman and chief executive Wes Edens said he is looking at 10 different fields on which to deploy the company’s first “Fast LNG” unit — a converted jack-up rig with liquefaction modules on its deck and an LNG carrier providing storage.
