Energy News Beat Publishers Note: We covered this on our live YouTube show months ago. Billions of dollars tied up on the floating LNG processing facility, and it has been off-line for 11 months due to a “electrical” issue.
Sydney, 11 January (Argus) — Cargo shipments have resumed at the 3.6mn t/yr Prelude floating LNG (FLNG) offshore Western Australia (WA), around 11 months after it went off line in February 2020 because of technical issues.
“LNG cargoes have resumed from Shell’s Prelude FLNG facility,” said operator Shell.
Prelude FLNG in the Browse basin has been plagued by technical issues since it started shipments in June 2019.
The confirmation of the return of shipments follows the 148,000m³ Symphonic Breeze LNG carrier due to arrive at Prelude on 4 January.
Australia has 10 LNG projects with a nameplate capacity of 86.6mn t/yr. But it has never achieved maximum exports because of maintenance issues, including at Prelude and the 15.6mn t/yr Gorgon LNG also offshore WA. The first train at Gorgon is currently off line for repairs to propane heat exchangers, said plant operator Chevron.
