<p>Title: Prelude Around the World Duration: 6:06 minutes</p><p>Description: It’s been a year of remarkable achievement for Shell’s Prelude Project. From the installation of the first processing module in South Korea to the completion of the largest turret ever built in Dubai. Take a look at some of the extraordinary highlights from this world first project to liquefy natural gas at sea. Prelude: Around the World Film Transcript</p><p>Voice Over In a global engineering project of extraordinary scale, Shell is building a giant floating facility that will liquefy natural gas at sea.</p><p>CAPTION Didrik Reymert, FLNG Project Director</p><p>Didrik Reymert It’s amazing, it’s very big, it’s very impressive, and it’s a fantastic achievement by everybody. Voice Over With its half kilometre long hull now afloat in South Korea, 2014 saw huge advances for the project around the world.</p><p>TITLE PAGE Prelude Around the world</p><p>CAPTION Vicinay Cadenas, Bilbao, Spain</p><p>Voice Over In Spain, brute strength and searing heat form the mooring chains that will hold Prelude in position. CAPTION Saioa Sebastian, Project Manager, Vicinay Cadenas</p><p>Saioa Sebastian: Every day we manufacture around 50 tonnes. That means 150 links more or less.</p><p>Voice Over 17 kilometres of chain, with 24 and a half thousand links will be produced.</p><p>CAPTION FMC Technologies, Sens, France</p><p>Voice Over In France, tests are underway on ground-breaking arms that will transfer the liquefied natural gas directly onto ships. CAPTION Cris Moreno CSU Superintendent Cris Moreno It is effectively the first time that we’re running the Prelude LNG loading arm at cryogenic conditions. Yeah! It is exciting.</p><p>Voice Over Chilled to minus 162 degrees centigrade, the natural gas will be transported as a cryogenic liquid.</p><p>Cris Moreno Good result! Very happy. </p><p>Voice Over The first of many safety tests succeeds.</p><p>CAPTION FMC Technologies, Johor, Xmas Tree Pressure Test</p><p>Voice Over In Malaysia, subsea equipment that will control the gas-flow from Prelude’s 7 wells is being checked for leaks.</p><p>CAPTION: Kevin Lau, Subsea Engineer</p><p>Kevin Lau We are pressuring up to 10,000 psi, which is about 300 times the pressure of your car tyres. It’s a bit like watching paint dry, but watching it dry very nervously! Because it’s so big, and it’s the final test, yes they still get nervous, never mind how many times you do it.</p><p>Voice Over The huge pressure holds, proving the kit is fit for use.</p><p>CAPTION Samsung Heavy Industries, Geoje Island, South Korea</p><p>Voice Over In South Korea, the installation of a pipe network 450 kilometres long is well underway.</p><p>CAPTION James Nafraicheur, Pipe Engineering Lead</p><p>James Nafraicheur: It looks like a human body full of arteries and veins, with blood flowing in-between.</p><p>Voice Over There are more than 450,000 piping components to connect. Across the shipyard, one of the vast storage tanks, is about to receive a “pump tower”. This will take its liquefied gas up to deck for offloading. CAPTION Jean Chaplain, Storage Tank Lead</p><p>Jean Chaplain: Last time it was windy and it was very tricky. </p><p>Voice Over The 50 tonne structure is safely coaxed through the narrow opening.</p><p>Jean Chaplain: OK it’s coming down</p><p>CAPTION: DryDocks World, Dubai, Turret Load-Out</p><p>Voice Over In Dubai, part of the 30 story “turret”, which allows Prelude to “weathervane”, is ready to set sail for South Korea.</p><p>CAPTION Nicholas Kauffmann, FLNG Project Manager</p><p>Nicholas Kauffmann: Every day when I wake up and I see components this size, you know I’m struck with awe!</p><p>Voice Over In Australia, construction finishes on the onshore supply base. Everything required to support Prelude’s remote location 200km’s from shore, will be shipped from here.</p><p>CAPTION: Andrew Smith, Country Chair Australia Andrew Smith:</p><p>The warehouse is completely empty now, but within a week things will start coming in. Ahh, it’s going to be terrific to see.</p><p>CAPTION: Holloway Houston, USA, Mooring Wire Strain Test</p><p>Voice Over In Texas, Prelude’s mooring cable, is strength tested to the point of destruction.</p><p>CAPTION Ewoud Van Haaften, Offshore Structures Engineer</p><p>Ewoud Van Haaften: This wire rope, it is the biggest mooring wire rope that has ever been break load tested. So now we’re over 2500 tonnes.</p><p>Voice Over It passes the required strength, and now it’s pushed to the limit. Ewoud Van Haaften More wires going… Still in one piece. Yah! There we go! Incredible, wow. What a huge bang!</p><p>Voice Over The sample out-performs strength requirements</p><p>CAPTION Samsung Heavy Industries, Geoje, South Korea</p><p>Voice Over In Korea, the first of the huge gas processing modules is being lifted onto the hull.</p><p>CAPTION Huw Jones, Construction Manager</p><p>Voice Over The 4,800 tonne module is floated to its new home.</p><p>CAPTION: Dean Fresher, Heavy Lift & Transportation Lead</p><p>Dean Fresher: At this stage, we’re about 100mil off, they’ll do the last adjustment, so when we do touchdown, that’s it, we won’t be coming up, and this module will be staying here for the next 25 years or more.</p><p>Dean Fresher: Well done Mr Lee! 100%! 100%!</p><p>Voice Over Piece by piece, step by step, across 4 continents and involving thousands of people, the vision of Prelude continues to become a reality.</p><p>Huw Jones: I’m delighted, absolutely delighted! Couldn’t have asked for better really.</p><p>END CARD DSP Production for Shell.tv Copyright logo / year</p>
