Gas is mined beneath the seabed and transported to the ship, where it will be liquefied at a temperature of -162 ° C, its volume will be reduced up to 600 times. After that, liquefied gas emissions will be forwarded to each of the transport ship to other places worldwide consumption. According to estimates, the Prelude will produce about 3.9 million tons of liquefied petroleum gas in 25 years time.
