SAN DONATO MILANESE, Italy – Eni has introduced first gas to the Tango FLNG vessel moored offshore Congo, 12 months after taking FID on the Congo LNG project.
On completion of the commissioning phase, the vessel will produce its first LNG cargo by Q1, 2024.
Tango FLNG has a liquefaction capacity of close to 1 bcm/yr and is moored alongside the Excalibur Floating Storage Unit (FSU) via a split mooring configuration. This is the first implementation at a floating LNG terminal, the company added.
Congo LNG will monetize gas resources from the Marine XII permit and reach around 4.5 bcm/yr of plateau gas liquefaction capacity under a phased development, with a target of zero routine gas flaring.
A second FLNG facility (3.5 bcm/r capacity) is under construction and should start production for Eni in 2025.
