Shell Technology Set to Enter Wider LNG Market through Wison Partnership

Wison New Energies (WNE), a China-based provider of clean energy services, has partnered with Shell to bring the European firm's liquefaction technology to the wider liquefied natural gas (LNG) market. The collaboration aims to accelerate the deployment of next-generation FLNG solutions.

The partnership will see Wison integrate Shell's dual mixed refrigerant (DMR) liquefaction technology into its FLNG offerings, making it available for the first time to the wider FLNG market. This is a significant development in the industry, as Shell's DMR technology has previously been deployed only at the company's equity projects.

The collaboration brings together Wison's integrated FLNG delivery model and advanced fabrication yards with Shell's LNG process expertise. Shell Catalysts & Technologies will support Wison throughout the integration of the DMR liquefaction technology during the preliminary front-end engineering design (pre-FEED), FEED, and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) phases of FLNG projects.
