The three owners of the PNG FLNG project are in talks with potential gas feedstock suppliers with acreage in Papua New Guinea’s Western Province.
Companies including Talisman Energy, Sasol, Horizon Oil, New Guinea Energy and Eaglewood Energy have acreage in the area’s Foreland basin.
PNG FLNG is owned by local company Petromin on 34%, Hoegh LNG of Norway with 33% and South Korean fabricator Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering on 33%.
Petromin managing director Joshua Kalinoe said the partners are in talks “with upstream licence owners in the Papuan Foreland basin for them to utilise the FLNG facility”.
“Petromin and its partners are providing a total solution for the early monetisation of small-scale gas discoveries.
“The solution includes construction of pipeline infrastructure through a gas aggregation strategy that would supply the facility,” added Kalinoe.
The owners have appointed Duncan Clegg as the managing director of the new PNG FLNG joint venture project operating company.
