Front-end engineering and design (FEED) for the project is expected to begin in the second half of 2009 with the financial investment decision (FID) scheduled for early in 2011. From the FID it will take approximately five years for the FLNG facility to be constructed and then towed to location. Whilst the facility is being built, the subsea production wells will be drilled and the infrastructure installed in time to supply gas to the FLNG facility on its arrival at the field.
