Shell-Statoil FLNG Venture.

It was reported in 2005 that a proposed merging of Statoil's Nnwa and Shell's Doro gas fields in adjacent offshore OPLs218 and 219 would lead to a FLNG venture between the two firms and their partners - ExxonMobil, Chevron, Total, Agip and NNPC. This was then proposed to be a two-train plant with a combined capacity of 6-10m t/y. The two gas fields, in the Niger Delta, have 9.5-10.5 TCF of recoverable reserves.

A feasibility study for the FLNG project had been made by the two partners. The LNG would go mostly to the US market, with some to be exported to Europe.
