FLNGs - Floating Liquefied Natural Gas units
Growing demand for natural gas as a clean-energy alternative to traditional fossil fuels has driven producers to seek safe, flexible solutions for extracting offshore gas. With over 50 years in the LNG industry, Bureau Veritas provides vital support to the development and operation of Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) units.
A worldwide drive to reduce emissions makes LNG a natural choice as both a power source and marine fuel. Owners, operators and producers depend on efficient, secure LNG supply chains and infrastructure. As FLNG production becomes viable, stakeholders must ensure the viability and safety of their projects, while adhering to strict regulations and ensuring their projects come in on budget.
Bureau Veritas helps clients identify and manage risks specific to offshore gas development. Safety is our top concern from the outset of a project, as evidenced by our careful analyses of mooring systems and floaters. We conduct HSE and risk assessments throughout a project to ensure our clients’ compliance and peace of mind.
Bureau Veritas supports performance throughout a vessel’s lifecycle. Our Asset Integrity Management approach enables the FLNG unit and its components to perform efficiently and safely throughout its anticipated service life, and beyond. These efforts include regular inspections, data collection and management, risk and structural assessment and corrosion management.
Our long classification history includes important guidance to clients regarding production, liquefaction, storage and re-vaporization, as well as structural and site notations. We support operators in ensuring compliance of all equipment, installations and processes. We can also review early blueprints of FLNG terminals, and provide design alteration suggestions, as well as compliance advice.
