PERTH, April 7 (Reuters) – Anglo-Dutch oil major Royal Dutch Shell Ltd is considering using its floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) production technology for a gas field off Western Australia, a company executive said on Monday.
“Floating LNG is a leading candidate for the Prelude field but it’s too early to say what we will eventually be using,” Linda Cook, Executive Director Gas & Power at Shell, told reporters.
Shell said in July last year that it had made a sizeable gas discovery the Prelude field at the Browse basin off Western Australia but did not reveal further details of the find.
