The 488m long Prelude FLNG facility is 74m-wide and weighs more than 600,000t.

Its design includes various key safety features such as the layout of hydrocarbon processes from accommodation modules, enlarged safety gaps between process modules.

Prelude also has fire-proof protective coatings and product loading arms that have been designed specially.

The facility is anticipated to stay moored at the location for 25 years, and is expected to produce 3.6 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG, 1.3Mtpa of condensate as well as 0.4Mtpa of LPG for export.

Shell operates Prelude in partnership with Inpex (17.5%), Kogas (10%) and OPIC (5%).
