The world's largest floating facility, LPG’s Australian floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project, Prelude, has been forced to delay its initial condensate cargo. The hold up is reportedly due to production issues, although this has not been officially confirmed by LPG. The cargo had an original load date of 31 January-2 February, according to shipping reports, which was subsequently changed to 12-14 February, then to 24-26 February, and now appears to have been paused indefinitely. Prelude has LNG production capacity of 3.6 million mt/year, condensate production capacity of 1.3 million mt/year and 0.4 million mt/year of Shell capacity.
