Australia's Transborders Energy, a company working to develop an FLNG solution for marginal field development, has signed a partnership agreement with the floating production solutions giant SBM Offshore. Perth-based Transborders said Sunday that the two companies would co-pursue the deployment of Transborders' FLNG Solution on a range of stranded offshore gas resource opportunities. Transborders has said that its FLNG Solution provides a pre-engineered one point five (1.5) million tonne per annum floating LNG facility with a package of "streamlined commercial arrangements and a robust regulatory approval execution plan to gas resource owners." Transborders has now designated SBM Offshore as its exclusive operation and maintenance services contractor for its FLNG facilities.
