The PFLNG SATU, which has a dry weight of 132,000 tonnes, has been designed for water-depths between 70 metres to 200 metres deep and a processing capacity of 1.2 million tonnes per annum. The facility aims to support PETRONAS’ global LNG portfolio and enhance its reputation as an LNG supplier.
A total of 18 million man-hours has been clocked to achieve the technological and engineering aspirations of a floating LNG facility.
The PFLNG SATU will proceed with the installation, hook-up and commissioning of the floating facility once moored at the Kanowit gas field, 180 kilometres offshore Sarawak.
The PFLNG SATU was towed from the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd (DSME) shipyard in Okpo, South Korea for the offshore phase of the project.
