''Prelude'' FLNG is the world's first floating liquefied natural gas platform as well as the largest offshore facility ever constructed. The ''Prelude'' is being built by the TechnipSamsung Consortium (TSC) in South Korea for a joint venture between Royal Dutch Shell, KOGAS, and Inpex. She is long, wide, and made with more than 260,000 tonnes of steel. At full load, she will displace more than 600,000 tonnes, more than five times the displacement of a . The hull was launched in December 2013. The only economically efficient way of developing smaller fields is FLNG application. As a gas field depletes, FLNG platforms could be relatively easily and cheaply moved to another location anywhere in the world. It also nearly eliminates political risks inherent to long pipelines and plant developments, and avoids the potential environmental impact of constructing and operating a plant on land, including laying pipelines to shore and building other infrastructure.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A revolution in natural gas production )〕 ==Construction== The main double-hulled structure was built by the Technip Samsung Consortium in the Samsung Heavy Industries Geoje shipyard in South Korea. Construction was officially started when the first metal was cut for the substructure in October 2012. The Turret Mooring System has been subcontracted to SBM and has been built in Drydocks World Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Other equipment such as subsea wellheads are being constructed in other places around the world. She was launched on 30 November 2013 with no superstructure (accommodation and process plant).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Prelude Project milestones )〕 Subsea equipment is being built by FMC Technologies, and Emerson is the main supplier of automation systems and uninterruptible power supply systems.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shell's Prelude FLNG Project, Browse Basin, Australia )〕 By July 2015, all 14 gas plant modules were installed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prelude FLNG」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
