TLDR
The article argues that floating LNG (FLNG) technology is revolutionizing the energy sector by enabling secure and efficient liquefied natural gas production offshore, as evidenced by Eni's successful project in Mozambique. It highlights the contrast with vulnerable onshore projects and speculates that FLNG will expand global gas supply, particularly through upcoming developments in Argentina's Vaca Muerta shale basin. • Onshore LNG projects in politically unstable regions, like TotalEnergies' Mozambique venture, face severe security risks and delays. • Eni's floating LNG project in Mozambique has proven successful, producing LNG offshore with enhanced security and faster deployment. • FLNG technology is now economically viable and mainstream, with a wave of new vessels under construction worldwide. • Eni, YPF, and XRG have signed a joint agreement for a large-scale FLNG project in Argentina to export LNG from the Vaca Muerta shale. • Golar LNG is redeploying its Hilli Episeyo FLNG vessel to Argentina, aiming for production by late 2027. • FLNG technology expands the global viability of hydrocarbon resources and could further delay perceived peak oil scenarios.
