CNOOC the Chinese Energy giant group studies about the chances of building a liquefied natural gas a million dollar floating vessel as untested technology, which is likely to use for producing gas from the South China Sea’s deep water. 

 However there is not any public announcement by the state run company, only a pre-possibility study is going on. The officials of CNOOC and other industry said that. CNOOC group has already talked to the firms of global engineering about a possible joint designing of the vessel, was added by two of the industrial officials. 

The FLNG ships are liquefaction plants Ocean based that may be positioned than reserves to extract chill gas and load into LNG tankers in order to delivery. These plants can make fields, isolated or too much small for developing undersea pipelines used for production. 

There are 10 FLNG facilities that are getting planned globally out of which are under construction, the biggest one’s like Prelude of Royal Dutch Shell and is due to produce gas from the Australian field offshore by 2017.

 Industry officials said FLNG plant will take place in a few years only; presently country is looking on to boost offshore energy output now.The CNOOC Group owns another 1billion oil rig deployed by the National Petroleum Corporation China for drilling water which is claimed to be of Vietnam. On this Wednesday, the CNPC has said the rig has stopped exploration when they found the signs of gas and oil near the island Paracel.
