Shell is uniquely placed to add value through opportunities on the gas market, by supplying contracted customers from multiple Shell LNG sources rather than a single point, and, potentially, from pipeline gas. In October 2013, the 700th LNG cargo left the Sakhalin-2 LNG plant in eastern Russia (Shell interest, 27.5%). Sakhalin-2 provides around 10% of Japan’s LNG supplies and more than 4% of South Korea’s. In the USA and Canada we have proposals to build liquefaction plants. In Western Canada, near Kitimat, British Columbia, we are progressing to a final investment decision through the LNG Canada project consortium.

FLOATING LNG Floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) is the latest in a line of Shell achievements in developing new technologies for the oil and gas industry. Moving the production and processing out to sea where the gas is found is a major innovation that brings more energy resources within reach. It is an exceptional example of developing and deploying both innovative thinking and technology. We believe that FLNG will enable the development of gas resources ranging from clusters of smaller more remote fields to potentially larger fields via multiple facilities.
