News Analysis: “Prelude” To A New Technology In Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Processing by Royal Dutch Shell is a 488 Meter (1,601 feet) Vessel (built by Samsung Shipyard In South Korea). This Vessel will be employed in the Indian Ocean offshore of Australia.
Royal Dutch Shell is to be commended for pursuing this State-of-the-Art Technology. Now, every effort should be made to let the World Petrochemical Users know of such a Reality; as well as the Great Expense Ventured in creating the “Prelude”. After doing so, perhaps Politicians will diminish their Sophomoric Rhetoric about the cost of Petrochemicals.
Billions of Dollars invested on Craft as the “Prelude” are not ‘sourced out of thin air’. They are derived from the results of ” Expensive Upstream (to this Vessel’s Operations) and Downstream Production” and Sales to Customers Worldwide. Reality.
