Eni announced the introduction of gas into the Tango Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility moored in Congolese waters. Gas introduction target was achieved in twelve months after the final investment decision. A key milestone for the Congo LNG project, which encompasses the adoption of new technologies and a strong synergy with existing producing assets. Tango FLNG will produce its first LNG cargo by the first quarter of 2024, placing the Republic of Congo on the list of LNG-producing countries.
The Tango FLNG facility has a liquefaction capacity of about one billion cubic meters per year (BCMA) and is moored alongside the Excalibur Floating Storage Unit (FSU), using an innovative configuration called ‘split mooring,’ implemented for the first time in a floating LNG terminal.
Congo LNG will enhance the gas resources of the Marine XII permit and achieve approximately 4.5 BCMA of plateau gas liquefaction capacity through phased development and with a target of zero routine gas flaring. As per the press release, a second FLNG facility with a capacity of about 3.5 BCMA is currently under construction and will begin production in 2025. The entire volume of LNG produced will be marketed by Eni.
