  1. Lots of news on FLNG lately.

    Aug 13 (LNGJ) - Petrobras signed agreements with Sete Brasil, Odebrecht and Etesco for the chartering and operation of nine drilling vessels to be constructed in Brazil. The rigs when built will be chartered to Petrobras for 15 years from 2016. They will focus on drilling in the pre-salt wells at the Santos Basin, where Floating LNG production projects are planned.

    Excelerate Energy has received long-term authorization from the US Department of Energy to export LNG from its Floating LNG liquefaction facility being developed at Lavaca Bay offshore Texas.


    Guar beans are so popular with fraccers the price has shot up.The search for a synthetic bean is on.

    A major ingredient in fracking fluid is India’s guar bean. However, because of the popularity of fracking, the guar bean is now in short supply, causing a run-up in bean prices, according to Reuters.

    Houston-based Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI) and Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) have both developed their own synthetic version of the bean in their labs as a way to help companies hold down drilling costs.

    Aug 14 (LNGJ) - The redirecting of LNG away from Europe towards Asia is expected to rise over the next two years, analysts said. European deliveries were down more than 30 percent in the first half of 2012 as cargoes were diverted and re-exported. LNG available for Europe could fall from current levels of 46 million tonnes per annum to around 20 MTPA in the next two to three years before returning to current levels as new Australian and US output begins to arrive in Asia.

    Yeah,might go back up.But round about then the oil glut will be becoming a reality.

    And how would you be in amongst this nightmare:

    The Arrow LNG project, the fourth major coal-seam-gas-to-LNG venture in Australia and involving Royal Dutch Shell and PetroChina, is planning up
    to 7,000 new CSG wells in a staged development over the life of the project.

    A vision of Hell.
