Africa will have a new LNG producer soon, Cameroon. The country’s state run oil company SNH announced that the FLNG vessel for its first LNG project, the Hilli Episeyo, launched production tests earlier this month.
The commercial exploitation is anticipated to start at the end of Q1 2018.
“The Floating LNG project is a first worldwide which places the SNH and its partners at the heart of innovation in the international gas industry. Cameroon, the pioneer of this major project, in fact joins the restricted group of natural gas exporting countries,” the SNH declared.
The HilliEpiseyo, which is owned by Golar LNG, arrived in Cameroon’s waters on November 20. The vessel will be supplied its feedstock from the Sanaga and Ebomé gas fields, offshore Kribi. The gas will be extracted from six wells located on the Sanaga field, then it will be processed in Bipaga’s facilities, before being conveyed to the floating unit for liquefaction.
