PRODUCTION OF LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS AND METHANOL

Objetivo

In view of the growing importance of offshore oil and gas it was decided to develop a supporting structure (platform) which would be capable to carry a heavy weight gas processing plant, i.E. A facility for natural gas liquefaction or methanol production respectively.
In order to obtain a more advanced state, the developers submitted a -second phase- and the work was carried out under project no. 03058-78.
In 1976 there was little knowledge concerning platforms for deckloads of more than 2,500 tons. Thus the main task of the project was to develop supporting structures for plant weights of up to 15,000 tons. Since the product, lng or methanol, had to be intermediately stored offshore, a storage platform also had to be developed. In the course of the study a further problem came up, namely the transfer of the low temperature liquide lng (-162d.C.) from the platform of the tanker. Norwegian companies took part in the activities as subcontractors.
