French float some new ideas for a generation of offshore terminals
Michel Vache DORIS Engineering (France)
DORIS Engineering is pioneering the development of Gravity Base Structures for LNG terminals.
The French company is building on its work on other platforms designed for the exploitation over the past 40 years of offshore oil and gas resources, such as FPSOs (Floating Production Storage Offloading), TLPs (Tension Legs Platform), subsea risers in deep waters, and marine operations.
One possible answer to the growing demand for natural gas is offshore LNG import terminals installed away from the shore, but as close as possible to the consumers, such as LNG-GBSs (Liquefied Natural Gas on Gravity Base Structures), FSRUs (Floating Storage Re-gasification Units), or special storage, re-gasification and offloading systems.
