Shell’s huge Prelude FLNG unit off north-west Australia is showing signs of nearing its first commercial production of LNG.
Data provided by LNG flow forecaster Eikland Energy iGIS/LNG shows that flaring from the 3.6 million tonnes per annum floating LNG production unit has been underway since early July.
But company founder Kjell Eikland said specific plant activity onboard the 600,000-tonne floater, which has two liquefaction trains, shows LNG production could be kicking off.
