Last month, the facility reached its final stages of commissioning and startup with the introduction of gas from the KAKG-A central processing platform at the Kanowit gasfield.

Gas is treated and liquefied through its nitrogen-based liquefaction unit and processed into the first drop of LNG.

In May, the facility set sail to the Kanowit gasfield by making its 2,120nm journey to Malaysia.

Construction started with the official steel cutting in June 2013, with the hull launched in April 2014.

In the fourth quarter of last year, PFLNG Satu achieved a 95% overall progress in its construction with installation of 22 modular systems both within and on the topside of the facility.
