Prelude FLNG Project

The Technip and Samsung consortium has been awarded for the Prelude FLNG project in offshore Australia. It was the world’s first floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project of its kind. The single-ply expansion joint (not manufactured by kompaflex) installed between the compressors did not meet the requirements for the very high number of cycles. A suitable replacement was urgently needed and was critical to the project timeline. kompaflex was tasked with redesigning, manufacturing and delivering two metallic expansion joints in a record time of five weeks.
