KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Petronas’ first floating liquefied natural gas facility, PFLNG SATU, achieved an industry breakthrough on Dec. 5 with the successful production of its first drop of LNG from Kanowit gas field, offshore Sarawak.

The operational milestone marks a decade long journey for Petronas since conceptualizing a floating LNG facility to maximize the potential of remote and stranded gas reserves to deliver a game changer in the global LNG business.

Adnan Zainal Abidin, acting V.P., LNG Assets, Development & Production, Petronas, said, “At 365 m long and with 22 modular systems, PFLNG SATU is an engineering marvel that brings together the liquefaction, production, storage and offloading processes of LNG to the offshore gas field.”

PFLNG SATU reached the final stages of commissioning and startup with the introduction of gas from the KAKG-A central processing platform at Kanowit gas field on Nov. 14.

With a processing capacity of 1.2 mtpa, PFLNG SATU is expected to lift its first cargo and achieve commercial operations in the first quarter of 2017.
