PETRONAS Floating LNG Factory a Success

The PETRONAS LNG Satu (PFLNG Satu) performed its first LNG drop in 2019.  PFLNG Satu is a PETRONAS floating LNG factory located at the Kebabangan field off the shore of Sabah in Southeast Asia.

The initial gas delivery on May 4, 2019 was piped to PFLNG Satu from Kebabangan through a 5-kilometer-long pipeline. The gas cooling processes began shortly after delivery, initiating production and LNG was produced 3 days after delivery.

PFLNG Satu was originally located in Kanowit field, Sarawak but was later moved to Kebabangan. PETRONAS officials are happy to showcase the benefits of their relocatable floating LNG systems as well as the quick turnaround from gas delivery to LNG production.
