Summary
Omega Technical Services' involvement was crucial in ensuring the successful conversion and commissioning of the FastLNG 1 facility. Our comprehensive engineering support and commissioning services contributed significantly to New Fortress Energy's goal of creating a flexible, rapidly deployable LNG production solution. This project showcases our capability in supporting cutting-edge developments in the LNG industry, particularly in the realm of modular and offshore liquefaction technologies.
Key Feature
- Conversion of a Jack-up Drilling Unit into a three-platform Liquefaction – Storage – Offloading facility
Project Scope
- Development of a Fast LNG modular liquefaction facility
- Capacity: 1.4 MM-metric ton (1.54-MM ton)
Modular Liquefaction Technology:
- Utilizes latest advances in mid-size liquefaction technology
- Designed for lower cost and faster deploymen
Repurposed Infrastructure:
- Conversion of jackup rigs or similar floating infrastructure
- Enables deployment in various locations with stranded natural gas resources
Storage Solution:
- Permanently moored Floating Storage Unit (FSU) alongside the liquefaction infrastructure
- Operates as an LNG storage facility
Key Advantages
- Flexibility to deploy anywhere with large volumes of stranded natural gas
- Faster deployment schedule compared to traditional LNG facilities
- Cost-effective solution for monetizing stranded gas resources
