Piece by piece, 14 gas plant modules have been built on a quayside, then carefully lifted on to a giant hull. Now, the last module is ready for installation and Prelude is taking shape, Shell said in the video.
Didrik Reymert , Prelude FLNG Project Director: “Getting the last module is a real accomplishment by everybody. And from now on progress won’t be that visible, but on the other hand there’s a lot of work to do still.”
Shell says that Prelude will produce approximately 3.6 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas per annum. The facility’s storage tanks will be below deck. They can store up to 220,000 m3 of LNG, 90,000 m3 of LPG, and 126,000 m3 of condensate. The total storage capacity is equivalent to around 175 Olympic swimming pools.
