PETRONAS 2nd FLNG Sets Sail for Malaysian Offshore Field
info • Feb 18, 2020
PETRONAS has announced their second floating LNG vessel Dua has officially set sail from South Korea in its maiden voyage to the Rotan Gas Field, located offshore Sabah, Malaysia.
PETRONAS stated the journey will cover 1,840 nautical miles over a course of approximately two-weeks. Once moored at the Rotan Gas Field, the PFLNG Dua will begin its installation, hook-up and commissioning with the Ready-for-Start-Up (RFSU) date earmarked for mid-2020 and Provisional Acceptance (PA) of the PFLNG Dua by end-2020 according to PETRONAS.
The PFLNG Dua will be operated by a crew of 120 and is expected to produce one LNG cargo every fortnight. The PFLNG Dua has the capacity to produce 1.5 million tonnes of LNG per annum and will be one of the worlds’ first floating deep-water LNG vessels capable of reaching remote, stranded and marginal gas reserves located up to 1,500 meters underwater.
The PFLNG Dua was constructed by PETRONAS together with its partners, JGC Corporation and Samsung Heavy Industries. The PFLNG Dua took approximately 16 million project man-hours to complete since the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation & Commissioning (EPCIC) contract was awarded in May 2014 and involved over 2,800 workers during peak construction.
