Petronas Relocates FLNG Satu

Malaysian state Petronas March 12 relocated its floating LNG (FLNG) facility, FLNG Satu, from the Kumang cluster field, offshore Sarawak, to the Kebabangan (KBB) cluster field, offshore Sabah. 
 
FLNG Satu will be moored at a water depth of 120 metres in the KBB cluster field, located 90 km northwest of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Petronas said March 13.

Petronas said FLNG Satu’s technology, featuring the capability to move from one location to another will strengthen the reliability of company’s LNG supply system to meet growing LNG demand. 

“Petronas has delivered 19 successful cargoes since the commissioning of PFLNG Satu and we are confident that this success continues in Sabah waters as well,” Petronas upstream CEO Datuk Mohd Anuar Taib said.

Designed to last up to 20 years without dry-docking, the 365-metre long FLNG Satu is expected to be able to produce 1.2mn metric tons/year of LNG.
