A natural choice for energy recovery

摘要

For decades, the number of large offshore resource discoveries has outstripped the onshore sector, and the significance of floating production and storage remains a distinct growth opportunity, despite oil price volatility. According to Clarkson's, by 2019 global floating LNG (FLNG) vessel capacity will amount to 44 million tonnes per year, representing about 7.5% of the industry's total capacity. Within these figures, Asia remains a key driver; according to the latest report by energy analysts Infield, Asia will account for 18% of forecast global offshore expenditure between 2015 and 2019. South East Asia in particular is seen as a hub for the LNG market.
