Australian oil and gas E&P company Buru Energy, together with compatriot Transborders Energy, has completed a pre-feasibility study for a floating LNG (FLNG) plant solution for its large-scale Rafael conventional gas and condensate discovery in the Canning Basin.

Buru Energy commissioned Transborders Energy to conduct the study in November 2022 as part of its efforts to commercialise the Rafael gas and condensate discovery.
The study looked into a Kimberley-based compact marinised FLNG plant solution which is said to potentially provide a faster, more capital-efficient, and less complex regulatory and commercial alternative LNG production pathway for Rafael gas than a concept involving transporting gas to the North West Shelf (NWS) for liquefaction and export.
