FLNG technology shows promise for stranded gas fields

摘要

Potential project structures: Under an integrated model, the upstream participants' share of production is set out in the respective granting instrument (i.e. the production sharing contract or license and, as between the parties, the joint operating agreement) and the upstream participants build all necessary infrastructure to produce, liquefy, and market the natural gas. In the context of FLNG, the upstream legal regime, applicable fiscal terms, and local laws likely impact the choice of structure.
