Most currently operating floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) vessels are ship-shaped and designed for offshore, over-field locations. This approach, however, does not necessarily offer an optimized solution for gas monetization. An alternative solution is barge-based LNG (BLNG), focused on near-shore positioning with liquefaction facilities mounted on a simple floating or grounded substructure with the remainder of the systems decoupled from the liquefaction technology in a separate location. The complete paper addresses the benefits of BLNG and why it is an increasingly viable gas-monetization concept.
Introduction
BLNG is focused on near-shore or at-shore positioning.
