Floating production systems
As a champion of floating natural gas liquefaction technology, Eni is positioning itself to play a major role in Africa with a fast-growing gas-liquefaction capacity targeted to reach 14 million tonnes per year by 2028.
The Japanese company ratcheted up the competitive nature of contracting for a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel and an onshore liquefied natural gas plant for the Abadi project by announcing dual front-end engineering design (FEED) contracts.
Deepwater Yellowtail project, onstream 4 months ahead of schedule, is expected to produce an average of 250,000 BOPD.
