The Congo LNG project is implemented through an accelerated development and a zero-flaring (i.e. aimed at reducing fugitive methane emissions) technological approach. It involves the installation of two floating natural gas liquefaction (FLNG) plants on the Nenè and Litchendjili fields, which are already in production, and on discoveries not yet developed. The expansion of the project allows the overall production capacity of the Marine XII concession to be increased up to 3 MTPA.
Congo's energy in global markets
20 October 2019
The project's configuration is carried out in two phases and involves the use of multiple technological and operational skills. The first phase defines the nearshore development with the positioning of the Tango FLNG floating unit, the gas pre-treatment plant, the installation of an additional platform and the drilling of 12 wells. The following offshore development involves positioning the second FLNG unit offshore, installing 8 additional platforms and drilling 29 wells. The Tango FLNG ship, which is 380 metres long and 60 metres wide, will be anchored at a water depth of about 40 metres and will be able to store over 180,000 cubic metres of LNG and 45,000 cubic metres of LPG.
LNG is the fossil fuel with the smallest carbon footprint. Its availability contributes to security of supply, by diversifying the energy mix and improving the conditions of access to energy in areas such as sub-Saharan Africa where, despite the great availability of resources, more than half a billion people have no access to electricity. In addition to bringing immediate benefits to producer countries, LNG can be transported around the world, thus bridging the distance between places of production and places of consumption and also freeing Italy from a market strongly influenced by the route of gas pipelines. For all these reasons, we consider projects like Congo LNG crucial for the transformation of the energy market.
