FLNG seen as driver for expansion

摘要

Floating LNG (FLNG) would be the main catalyst for any future wave of expansion in Australia’s LNG sector, project devel- opers have told an inquiry into FLNG’s economic impact in Western Australia. The rise in LNG project development costs has been acute in Australia, where four of the seven projects being built are experiencing cost blowouts (AGL, April, p6). This has prompted developers to look to FLNG as a way to keep project costs down and remain competitive with projects in the US and east Africa.
