Shell is building the world’s first floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project which has the potential to revolutionise the way natural gas resources are developed.
It will help to unlock vital energy resources offshore, without the need to lay pipelines and build processing plants on land.
Hundreds of engineers from across the world have combined their experience and expertise to design the world’s largest floating offshore facility. It will be used to help open up new natural gas fields at sea that are currently considered too costly or difficult to develop.
From five star living in one of the most remote locations on the planet, to paint that will last 25 years at sea. Not only is Shell’s Prelude FLNG team building one of the largest floating structures ever seen, but they are also taking the energy industry to a whole new level of innovation.
