When completed, FLNG Hilli Episeyo will be redeployed in the Gulf of San Matias in the Rio Negro province offshore Argentina, liquifying gas from the Vaca Muerta Shale formation onshore in Neuquen province for 20 years.
With a nameplate capacity of 2.45 MMt/year, FLNG Hilli Episeyo is set to recommence operations in 2027.
The upgrading of FLNG Hilli Episeyo is part of a broader suite of solutions developed by Seatrium to address the industry’s focus on energy transition, with LNG widely regarded as a transition fuel.
