Its modular Fast LNG units offer the same thing Golar sells — offshore liquefaction capacity delivered to gas resource owners and state utilities that want stranded gas monetised without building an onshore plant.
Eni deploys its own floating liquefaction fleet offshore Congo and Mozambique, so a host government with gas to monetise can partner with Eni instead of chartering an FLNG unit from Golar.
Exmar built and operated the Tango floating liquefaction barge before selling it to Eni and still bids for floating liquefaction and marine operations contracts from the same gas producers Golar targets; it was taken private by Saverex and is no longer listed.
This privately held US developer is building floating liquefaction vessels off Louisiana and competes with Golar for the same long-term LNG export capacity and offtake contracts; it is owned by Global Infrastructure Partners and its partners, with no listed shares.

- 3/12/2026NEUTRALThis LNG Stock Is Up 32% in a Year, so Why Did One Investor Sell Off a $14 Million Position?
Golar LNG, a key player in the global LNG infrastructure and logistics sector, has seen its stock surge 32% over the past year. Despite this strong performance, a significant $14 million position was recently divested by an investor. The company's core operations revolve around floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) vessels and carriers, crucial for the expanding LNG market. The substantial sale, even amidst a bullish trend, raises questions about potential short-term profit-taking or a strategic reallocation of capital by the seller, rather than an indictment of the company's long-term prospects.
