Golar LNG and Schlumberger want to inform the market that Schlumberger's withdrawal from the Fortuna/Ophir development will not in any way influence the framework agreement which has been signed between Golar and Schlumberger.
The target of this framework agreement is to develop integrated solutions for stranded gas assets. Significant efforts have been put into this over the last months and the results have confirmed to both parties the commercial attractiveness and the technical viability of the FLNG concept as a solution for rapid modernisation of stranded gas. The partnership is currently exploring several specific opportunities.
Although a commercial agreement between Ophir and Schlumberger was not reached, Golar will independently continue to work with Ophir with the target to reach an FID for the Fortuna development this year.
