The scope of the study group “FLNG concepts (LNG FPSO & FSRU), facts and differentiators” was to explore the floating LNG concept’s evolution in the recent years, as to provide a view on the trending facts and driving differentiators for the potential use of this concept, in the LNG industry. 

Floating LNG concepts are 

 LNG FSRUs: Floating storage and regasification units and 

 LNG FPSOs: Floating liquefaction, storage and offloading units. 

Commercial and technical aspects provide insights in facts and differentiators for the development of FLNG solutions and their particularities. Criteria are extracted, which make FLNG projects feasible, including success/non-success stories. Specific stand-alone study cases are compiled but also cases with comparisons of onshore versus floating developments.
