The introduction of gas into the Tango Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility moored in Congolese waters has begun.
Following completion of the commissioning phase, Tango FLNG will produce its first LNG cargo by 1Q24, placing the Republic of Congo on the list of LNG-producing countries.
The introduction of gas was completed in record time – only 12 months after the final investment decision (FID).
This is a key milestone for the Congo LNG project, which encompasses the adoption of new technologies and a strong synergy with existing producing assets.
The Tango FLNG facility has a liquefaction capacity of approximately 1 billion m3/yr and is moored alongside the Excalibur Floating Storage Unit (FSU), using an innovative configuration called ‘split mooring’, implemented here for the first time in a floating LNG terminal.
EXMAR has built and formerly owned Tango FLNG, provides the Excalibur FSU on a long-term charter and will be in charge for the operations of the new LNG terminal.
Congo LNG will enhance the gas resources of the Marine XII permit and achieve approximately 4.5 billion m3/yr of plateau gas liquefaction capacity through phased development and with a target of zero routine gas flaring.
