The FLNG has produced 10 million mt of LNG since it started operations in 2018.
This was announced on Sunday by Asle Pettersen, Golar’s asset manager FLNG, and other Golar employees via social media.
In December 2024, Golar took full ownership of the FLNG after completing deals worth $90.2 million with Seatrium and Black & Veatch.
Before this, Golar completed its deal with US LNG player NFE to buy the 50 percent interest in trains 1 and 2 of the FLNG in 2023.
Hilli is currently contracted to Perenco in Cameroon, until contract expiry in July 2026.
Following the completion of its contract in Cameroon, the FLNG will relocate to Argentina to start a 20-year contract for Southern Energy, a consortium of natural gas producers in Argentina.
In July 2024, Golar entered into definitive agreements with Argentina’s Pan American Energy for a 20-year deployment of FLNG Hilli.
Pan American Energy, Golar LNG, YPF, Pampa Energia, and Harbour Energy took a final investment decision for the Southern Energy FLNG project in May this year.
With this, all conditions were fulfilled for the 20-year re-deployment charter of FLNG Hilli.
Singapore’s Seatrium secured a contract from a unit of Golar to upgrade the latter’s FLNG Hilli, ahead of its new contract in Argentina in 2027.
The scope of work includes engineering and procurement of long-lead items, repair and life extension, and winterisation of the vessel, as well as the installation of a new soft-yoke mooring system.
