JGC has started work on a standardized floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) design package using LNG process technologies from Honeywell.
The Japanese engineering company said the package is intended to streamline front-end and design work for FLNG projects. Depending on project conditions and customer requirements, JGC aims to shorten the period from order to delivery by more than one year.
Development is targeted for completion in fiscal year 2026, which runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027.
The program reflects growing interest in standardized and modular offshore engineering across the oil and gas sector. These approaches are being used by major contractors to improve project accessibility and cost efficiency.
JGC said the FLNG package could expand LNG project options where onshore development is limited by geography or geopolitical conditions. The company also said the solution is intended to support faster monetization of small- and mid-sized gas fields and earlier start-up of energy supply.
The design will be based on Honeywell’s AP DMR dual-mixed refrigerant natural gas liquefaction technology. Honeywell will provide core process technologies, including liquefaction and gas pretreatment solutions.
These systems will be combined with JGC’s engineering expertise and modular design approach, focused on high throughput within limited topside space.
JGC has broad offshore oil and gas experience and recently secured an FLNG project contract in Africa.
