The Australasian FLNG / FPSO Forum

Demand for oil & gas will not abate in the near future. Peak oil is a fast-approaching reality. Oil prices will rise again and the recent highs of $150 a barrel are not unrealistic in the future.

Smaller more, difficult oil & gas fields, which were previously uneconomic, are looking more attractive. Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) is the key differential that may ensure some of these fields can be developed. FLNG has the potential to be the holy grail to monetise these stranded gas fields.

Critically, FLNG is still untested anywhere in the world, the cost of FLNG is massively greater than land based LNG and the technical challenges of FLNG are many and difficult to overcome. But, FLNG is essentially the only option to extract the natural resources for many fields. As the pressure for oil & gas grows, and thus the price per unit, the investment required for FLNG looks more attractive.

The race is now for the patent holders to prove their technologies, become the first FLNG plant and the industry standard. As a delegate at the FLNG Forum, you will spend in-depth time with experts at the forefront of research in this field, find out more about future plans and assess the viability of projects. These two days will be invaluable in keeping you at the forefront of current developments. You will have the opportunity to openly explore the challenges, pitfalls, risks and potential of this embryonic, yet possibly lucrative technology.

Delegates will hear from experts on a range of topics including:

• The market outlook for FLNG: macroeconmic outlook & market drivers
• The market potential for floating liquefaction solutions
• FLEX LNG – the new frontier in gas monetisation
• Legal rules & regulations for the offshore energy vessel sector
• Design drivers for floating LNG
• Topside process design and mechanical equipment considerations
• Streamlining the LNG value chain
• Stepping stones to FLNG – the Tassie Shoal Project
• The development of FLNG & its support infrastructure
• Design, construction and engineering considerations for offshore FLNG / FPSO solutions
• Optimising ship-to-ship berthing
• Availability of FLNG offloading operations in the Australian region
