Delfin takes FID on first FLNG
Delfin Midstream took FID on its first $5 billion, 4.4 mtpa FLNG unit offshore Louisiana. The project is backed by investors led by GIP/BlackRock, alongside MOL, Vitol and Diameter, and by LNG deals with Vitol, Expand Energy, Centrica and Gunvor. Samsung Heavy Industries will build the FLNG under a $2.88 billion order, with delivery due by July 2030. Delfin’s brownfield deepwater port could ultimately host three FLNG vessels producing up to 13.2 mtpa, with FIDs for units two and three targeted over the coming year.
