Indian State of Andhra to Get Two FLNG Terminals by 2014

Two floating re-gassified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) terminals off Andhra Pradesh coast will be commissioned in two years, IANS reported officials as saying.

While the first terminal at Kakinada will be commissioned by December next year, the second terminal at Gangavaram port will commence operations in 2014.

The 3.5-million-tonne unit in Kakinada, which will be housed on a floating ship instead of land, can deliver equivalent to 14 MMSCM. Petronet was establishing another RLNG terminal at Gangavaram Port in Visakhapatnam district, which will commence operations by the end of 2014.

About 32 MMSCMD of natural gas will be available to the state through imported LNG through these two terminals, the report said.
