Abstract

The method comprises installing at least one lower section of a mooring line at the bottom of the body of water; trapping the lower section in the ground; connecting an upper unit of the floating installation to the mooring line. The lower section being constituted by a chain, the chain defining, after the connection of the upper unit, a lower end of the mooring line not provided with a mooring point pre-mounted on the mooring line, in particular an anchor or pile.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system and method of efficiently designing a compact and modularized midscale liquefied natural gas production train. The train includes Natural Gas Pretreatment and Natural Gas Liquefaction sections designed in a unique way that reduces footprint, capital and operating cost, and overall project schedule. The train is configured into a framed compact multi-level structure with air coolers on the top level and process equipment underneath, which results in significant reduction in footprint compared to conventional stick-built design and significant reduction in footprint compared to conventional modularized design.
