NFE Achieves First LNG for its Fast LNG Asset
OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- New Fortress Energy Inc. today announced that it
has achieved First LNG for its initial Fast LNG asset located offshore
Altamira, Mexico.
NFE's proprietary Fast LNG design is the first of its kind, pairing the
latest advancements in modular liquefaction technology with jack up rigs or
similar offshore infrastructure to enable a faster deployment schedule than
traditional liquefaction facilities.
With a production capacity of 1.4 MTPA, or approximately 70 TBtus, FLNG
completes the vertical integration of NFE's LNG portfolio and will play a
pivotal role in supplying low-cost, clean LNG to the Company's downstream
terminal customers.
"First LNG represents a transformative moment for our company and the
industry as a whole, and reaffirms our position as a fully integrated leader in
the global LNG market," said Wes Edens, chairman and CEO of New Fortress Energy.
"We are immensely proud of the dedication and hard work by our team, who
have completed more than 9 million work hours, to bring this large-scale
project to life at a record pace. In doing so, our downstream customers now
benefit from additional access to clean and reliable LNG, enabling sustained
growth well into the future," said Chris Guinta, chief financial officer of New
Fortress Energy.
FLNG adds more than $2 billion of infrastructure to the Company's asset
base, greatly improving NFE's operational capabilities, financial flexibility,
and credit profile.
