After three thin years for final investment decisions (FIDs), 2019 is widely expected to be a bumper year for the sanctioning of new liquefaction projects. Among the many developments that could credibly reach FID are several that will utilise multiple mid-scale liquefaction trains for what are intended to become large-scale projects. It will be the first big test for a technology strategy that challenges the traditional – and still popular – approach of employing trains of 4‑5.5 mtpa capacity for large projects. As such, it will be watched keenly by the sponsors of developments that have yet to make their technology selection.
