26 July 2026

Key facts:

Under construction: 18 MTPA (6 projects)
Advanced pre-FID: 34 MTPA (5 projects)
Early-stage concepts: 10 MTPA (3 projects)

Total identified pipeline: ~63 MTPA (14 projects)

Evolution:

Purpose-built FLNG → Barge-based FLNG → LNG Carrier Conversion → Deepwater FLNG → Standardised Designs → Multi-FLNG Export Hubs

Innovations:

Single FLNG → Multi-FLNG export hubs with shared infrastructure
Bespoke designs → Standardised platforms
Dedicated infrastructure → Shared offshore infrastructure
Standalone projects → Integrated LNG export systems
