The state-of-the-art FLNG will have a liquefaction capacity of 2.4 million tons per annum (MTPA), and will complement the existing Tango FLNG, which is operational since December 2023 with a capacity of 0.6 MTPA, bringing the total liquefaction capacity of Congo LNG project to 3 MTPA by the end of 2025.
The Republic of Congo's capacity to produce LNG will be increased with the installation of the new facility offshore. Alongside the current Tango FLNG, which has a capacity of 0.6 MTPA, the Nguya FLNG will function with a liquefaction capacity of 2.4 MTPA. Since December 2023, the Tango FLNG has been in operation.
Nguya FLNG boosts Congo's LNG capacity to 3 MTPA by 2025. Eni strengthens LNG exports with advanced floating technology. First-ever LNG cargo exported from Congo to Italy in February 2024. Nguya FLNG boosts Congo's LNG capacity to 3 MTPA by 2025. Eni strengthens LNG exports with advanced floating technology.
By increasing the Republic of Congo's capacity to produce and export LNG, this cooperation seeks to fortify the nation's position in the world energy markets. Eni's dedication to making use of the natural gas resources in the area is demonstrated by the Nguya FLNG, the second such facility to be established in the Republic of Congo.
Preliminary activities have already started, with long lead items ordered and steel cut of cryogenic tanks occurred on December 20 th. This facility will be the second FLNG to be deployed in the Republic of Congo, the first one being Tango FLNG (0.6 MTPA capacity), with LNG production expected to begin in 2023.
Guido Brusco, Eni's Chief Operating Officer, Global Natural Resources, said: “We celebrate this milestone together with our partners as a testament of the solid collaboration between Eni and the Republic of Congo. We have been the first to believe in the value of Congo's gas, primarily for domestic power generation, and then for export.
