The World FLNG Market Forecast 2012-2018

Abstract
Table of Contents

Douglas-Westwood's new FLNG report forecasts Capex will exceed $28.6 billion between 2012 and 2018

Shell’s decision to sanction Prelude, the world’s first floating liquefaction facility, has brought the sector to the forefront of industry awareness. The $3bn floater will be the biggest offshore structure ever built, longer than a super tanker and heavier than an aircraft carrier. Following in this giant’s wake are several promising projects worldwide.

Floating regasification is proving popular in countries wishing to access the buoyant LNG market. The relative cost advantages over onshore terminals plus the short lead times are proving to be a substantial incentive for developers.
