Author(s) : MIYAKE H., KISHIMOTO N., KAKUTANI Y.

Summary

For exploitation of small offshore gas fields, an LNG FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) System has emerged as a potentially feasible approach. Since diversification of energy sources is of importance for national energy security, JNOC (Japan National Oil Corporation) in conjunction with JGC Corporation has conducted extensive studies on LNG FPSO. The first part of the paper discussed design conditions and areas to which specific investigations or studies have been directed. The second part of the paper presents the results studies concerning safety, offloading systems, tank testing models, economics.
