Black & Veatch posted an interesting video recently.

Wison Offshore and Marine will fabricate this first-of-its-kind non-propelled barge that will be towed around Africa for Pacific Rubiales Energy to Tolu, Columbia where it will be moored to a jetty offshore and supplied with raw natural gas by a pipeline from an onshore field.
The unit will treat and liquefy it to produce LNG all done in the open sea ready for storage and transport to end consumers.
Exmar is working to meet the surge in world demand for clean, alternative fuels. And Black & Veatch, a pioneer in the Liquefied Natural Gas industry, working for Wison Offshore & Marine in Nantong, China, will help Exmar meet this demand by providing engineering and procurement for topside liquefaction equipment
