Efficient exploitation of stranded gas reserves
CARIBBEAN FLNG To tap into stranded reserves of Colombian gas, Pacific Rubiales Energy Corporation and EXMAR NV have partnered to build and operate a floating LNG liquefaction and storage unit, the Caribbean FLNG, which will be stationed at a jetty several kilometres off the Caribbean coast of Colombia for at least 15 years. A crucial component in achieving such a long mooring time is an innovative glass-flake, non-toxic, long-lasting coating system, writes David Phillips, editor of the Journal of Ship Hull Performance.
