According to the development plan, Magnolia LNG will construct and operate up to four liquefaction production trains.

Wsing the company’s patented OSMR LNG process technology, each of the trains is expected to have a capacity of 2mtpa or more.

The project comprises construction and operation of two 160,000m³ full containment storage tanks, as well as ship, barge and truck loading facilities, and associated infrastructure.

Under the EPC contract, KSJV is responsible for creating systems to enable full guaranteed production operations.

The final investment decision on the project and commencement of construction are subject to execution of sufficient offtake agreements to support financing.
