TMC to Supply Compressors to FLNG Hilli
Tamrotor Marine Compressors (TMC) has been awarded a contract by Golar LNG to supply compressed air systems to the Hilli FLNG vessel which will operate offshore Cameroon.
FLNG Hilli is currently undergoing a conversion from an ex-LNG carrier to a floating LNG production unit at the Keppel Shipyard in Singapore.
TMC’s scope of work includes manufacturing and delivery of seven 365kW Smart Air compressors to be installed on board the FLNG Hilli. The contract value is undisclosed. TMC’s Smart Air compressors offer 50% energy saving compared to conventional compressors.
FLNG Hilli is scheduled to commence operations at the Kribi field offshore Cameroon later this year. Golar LNG will provide liquefaction, storage, and off-loading services under a tolling agreement to Cameroon’s state owned oil and gas company Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures and Perenco Cameroon as upstream joint venture partners. It is anticipated that the allocated reserves will be produced at a rate of 1.2 million tons of LNG per annum, over an approximate eight-year period.
