In a major development, Shell’s CFO Jessica UhI has said that they have shipped their first LNG cargo from their Australian floating LNG production facility, Prelude in the second quarter, reports an article published in Platts.
The Most Anticipated LNG Projects
Speaking after the release of their Q1 earnings, Uhl said the first LNG would follow the shipment of the first condensate cargo from Prelude last month.
Prelude FLNG is one of the most anticipated LNG projects in recent years due to its deployment as the world’s largest floating facility, though it has experienced delays due to unspecified production issues.
