OSLO: The joint venture behind what was touted as the world's first floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant have decided to postpone the final investment decision (FID) on the project, which was due by the end of December 2008.
The joint venture decided to review the FID timeline due to the "complicated nature of structuring the world's first floating LNG project," Oslo-listed Flex LNG said in a statement. Peak Petroleum and Mitsubishi Corp.are partners to the LNG project originally planned to develop the Bilabri, Owaneri and Orobiri gas fields off Nigeria. The FLNG plant was granted approval from the Nigerian Department of Petroleum Resources in November. Flex LNG had awarded Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd.
