Background on the technology and the terms used on this page.

FLNG explained
Floating liquefaction, or FLNG, is a complete LNG plant built on a ship-shaped hull and moored over or near a gas field, so gas is liquefied at sea and loaded straight onto carriers without any onshore terminal.
Liquefaction trains explained
A liquefaction train is one complete, self-contained refrigeration line that chills treated natural gas until it condenses, and a large modern train produces roughly 5 to 8 million tonnes of LNG a year.
What terminal status actually means
A project status describes how far an LNG terminal or train has progressed, and the gap between proposed and operating is the single most misread number in the industry.
How LNG works
Liquefied natural gas is natural gas chilled to about minus 162 degrees Celsius, at which point it becomes a liquid roughly 600 times smaller than the gas, so it can be shipped where no pipeline runs.
