- Offshore Terminal in Malaysia
Address: Malaysia
An Offshore Terminal for a Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility, such as the FLNG DUA in Malaysia, serves as a key structure for the production, liquefaction, storage, and offloading of natural gas at sea. Here’s an overview of its description and specifications:
Description of FLNG DUA
FLNG DUA represents the second FLNG facility operated by PETRONAS, Malaysia's national oil and gas company. It is a sophisticated offshore terminal designed to exploit natural gas resources located in remote offshore fields and convert them into liquefied natural gas (LNG) directly on-site, eliminating the need for long-distance transportation of raw gas to onshore processing plants.
Specifications
Processing Capacity
- Production Capacity: Approximately 1.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG.
- Gas Processing Technology: Utilizes advanced liquefaction technology to handle a variety of gas compositions.
- Associated Production: Can handle associated natural gas liquids (NGLs) and condensates.
Dimensions and Facilities
- Length: Around 365 meters.
- Width: Approximately 65 meters.
- Height: Up to 33 meters above the waterline.
- Storage: Equipped with LNG storage tanks capable of holding around 180,000 cubic meters of LNG.
- Topsides: Comprises modules for gas pre-treatment, liquefaction, and utilities.
Mooring and Offloading
- Mooring System: Designed to operate in harsh offshore environments with a robust mooring system.
- Offloading: Equipped with arms and systems for LNG offloading to LNG carriers for transport to market.
Operations and Safety
- Designed for continuous operation, typically several years between scheduled maintenance shutdowns.
- Safety Systems: Comprehensive safety and emergency response systems, adhering to international maritime and industrial safety standards.
- Environmental Protection: Measures to minimize environmental impact, including emissions control and potential discharge management.
Location and Deployment
- Deployed in Malaysian offshore fields; typically positioned near gas fields that are remote or lacking infrastructure for pipeline transport.
- Location: Adaptable to various offshore locations within Malaysian jurisdiction, requiring substantial seabed preparations and evaluations.
Innovations and Technology
- Advanced Liquefaction: Employs cutting-edge technologies for efficient and reliable LNG production.
- Automation and Remote Monitoring: High degree of automation for real-time monitoring and control.
- Versatility: Capable of handling different gas qualities and adjustable to varying field conditions.
Functional Aspects
- Extraction and Production: Directly extracts natural gas from subsea wells, processes, and liquefies it on the FLNG unit.
- Reusability and Mobility: Being an offshore unit, it can be redeployed to different gas fields after depleting the current one.
- Energy Security: Bolsters Malaysia’s LNG production capacity, enhancing both domestic supply stability and export potential.
Conclusion
FLNG DUA represents a major achievement in offshore energy production, providing a versatile and mobile solution to natural gas exploitation in deep and remote waters. Its state-of-the-art technology and robust design demonstrate Malaysia's growing capabilities in the LNG sector and its commitment to leveraging natural gas resources efficiently and sustainably.
