FLNG Challenges
Moving from Concept to Reality with Technip’s Unique
Combination of Expertise
 Industry experience in large FPSO’s
 Open sea transfer of LNG made
possible
 Issues with processing on moving
platforms are understood
Onshore LNG Plants
 Many FLNG Projects at Conceptual,
FEED stage
 Technological breakthrough for the Offshore Floating Facilities
energy industry
Subsea Field Development
Concretization of a decade of work for Technip, with the involvment

of all the know-how & talents to better manage risks & interface.

Shell Prelude FLNG
- The Prelude facility will be 488m long, 74m wide, with a weight
around 600,000 tons
- It will stay moored in water 250m deep for 25 years
- Completion in 2017, with a production of 3.6 MTPA of LNG
- It will create 1000 jobs
Project Background
 Strong need to find a material to
protect carbon steel from damage
during cryogenic spillage.
 No international test method
 No Cryogenic spillage rating for
materials
Jules Vernes Incident 1965
Establish standard tests method for material selection for

the industry
JIP on CSP
JIP on Cryogenic Spillage (Start Nov 2012)
 6 months on testing 9 technologies under spillage condition and vapor
 International participants
JIP break down
3 different work packages to address the overall issues on CSP:
 WP 1 materials selection to establish minimum physical

requirement for the materials as well as consolidation of CSP
rating table
 WP 2 Cryogenic and mechanical test of the materials
 WP3 Develop 3D EOLE model to establish risk contours and
link materials selection with CSP rating

Internal Test Protocol
 Technip Proof Test (TPT)
 Sample exposed during 120
min at -190°C (LN2)
 3cm of LN2 permanently in
the pool
 Monitored the back face
temperature
 PASS/FAIL test
 Pass physical integrity (ISO
4628-4)
 No drop of temperature
under -40°C in average for
rating

SAMPLE INSTRUMENTATION
• Thermocouples T type class 1-3 – copper / constantan Cu-Ni alloy – resistant

down to -200°C
• Thermocouples TC-1 to TC-12 (soft) = they instrument the sample holder

backface (fixed with cryo-proof adhesive)
• Thermocouples TC-13 to TC-18 (sheathed – rigid) = they instrument the central

beam, in the holes and come up to the CSP material
SAFETY

BURNING
- Very low temperatures clothes (1h at - Personal and portative O2 rate detectors
-66°C) - Fixed O2 rate detectors inside the technical hall +
- Cryogenic gloves alarm
- Protective visors - SCBA
- Test protocol minimizing proximity to - SCBA trainings
LN2 - Emergency small SCBA for 10-15 minutes rescue
- Test zone delimitation and safety - External N2 vapour ducts
markings - Test protocol taking account of the asphyxia risk

Conclusions
Conclusions
 Better protection at better cost

 Good tests improve the performance of materials
 Pool tests running and successful adoption from
the industry to replicate immersion condition
 New technologies reaching market (PreFab Planel)
 Vapor in development
 Jet in ballot stage target publication date in 2017
ISO tests reduce costs for all stakeholders
