With the lifting of the power generation module, the FLNG project led by Italy’s Eni marks the beginning of the integration between the hull and the topside, according to a Coral FLNG statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The hull, also being built in South Korea, was launched<\/a> in the beginning of January. <\/p>\n The massive topside includes 12 process modules weighing around 70,000 tons.<\/p>\n “The on-time achievement of such a significant milestone is even more relevant now considering the ongoing challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic”, the statement said.<\/p>\n “The construction of the FLNG facility is progressing well aiming towards the commencement of production in 2022”, it said.<\/p>\n The unit is part of the Coral South project, which will put in production 450 billion cubic meters of gas from the giant Coral reservoir in the Area 4 block offshore Mozambique.<\/p>\n Area 4 is operated by Mozambique Rovuma venture owned by Eni, ExxonMobil and CNPC, which holds a 70 percent interest in the Area 4 exploration and production concession contract.<\/p>\n In addition to the venture, Galp, Kogas and Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos each hold a 10 percent interest in Area 4. <\/p>\n Eni is leading the construction and operation of the FLNG unit on behalf of the venture.<\/p>\n The Coral Sul FLNG facility will have a liquefaction capacity of 3.4 million tons per year when completed. <\/p>\n The unit will be 432 metres long and 66 metres wide and weigh about 220,000 tons. It will be able to house up to 350 people in its eight-storey accommodation module. <\/p>\n The FLNG will be anchored at a water depth of around 2,000 metres by 20 mooring lines that weigh a combined 9,000 tons.<\/p>\n Construction works on the Coral Sul FLNG started in 2018 and are ongoing in seven operational centres across the world. <\/p>\n The post Coral Sul FLNG gets first topside module<\/a> appeared first on Offshore Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n world maritime news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" South Korea’s shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industry has lifted the first topside module onboard the Coral Sul floating liquefied natural gas unit that will be used for a project offshore Mozambique.
