LNG-FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading Unit) is a floating system installed LNG plant on it and enables to export natural gas as LNG from offshore field to gas markets directly. This system may have significant advantages for development of deepwater, remote or small size offshore gas field for the following reasons:
· Minimum Environmental Impact
· Reduction in CAPEX/OPEX
· Potential Reduction of Project Lead Time
· Reduction in Abandonment Work & Cost
INPEX Corporation (INPEX) has conducted several studies on LNG-FPSO to assess the feasibility since 2001. Based on the results, INPEX conducted Pre-FEED (Front End Engineering & Design) for LNG-FPSO for the INPEX's Abadi gas field located in the deepwater remote area in Arafura Sea Offshore Indonesia from September 2007 to July 2008.
This presentation outlines the concept of LNG-FPSO for the Abadi gas field and discusses the applicability of LNG-FPSO.
