Perenco begins FLNG operations offshore Cameroon
Perenco has begun production at Cameroon LNG via Golar LNG Ltd.’s floating LNG (FLNG) production unit Hilli Episeyo.
FLNG Hilli Episeyo arrived in Cameroon in late November 2017. A ship-to-ship transfer of cool down LNG with the Golar Bear took place in mid-December 2017, followed by the introduction of feed gas from the onshore processing plant. Commissioning of the FLNG’s refrigerant trains continued into February.
Gazprom has an 8-year purchase agreement for all of Cameroon LNG’s anticipated 1.2 million tonne/year production from FLNG Hilli.
Golar said its experience with conversion and commissioning FLNG Hilli would be applied to the Fortuna project in Block R off Equatorial Guinea. Ophir Energy PLC and OneLNG, a joint venture of subsidiaries of Golar and Schlumberger, in late 2016 established a joint operating company to develop Fortuna using the Golar Gandria FLNG. Golar Gandria is now at Keppel Shipyard in Singapore.
Phase 1 Fortuna development would tie four natural gas wells back to FLNG Gandria, targeting an eventual plateau output of 2.2 million tpy. First gas is expected in 2019. Fortuna Phase 2 would double production via an additional 5 wells and a second FLNG.
