LVS Advisory stated the following regarding Golar LNG Limited (NASDAQ:GLNG) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“In this letter, I will discuss the Growth Portfolio’s investment in Golar LNG Limited (NASDAQ:GLNG). Golar LNG (“Golar”, “GLNG”, or the “Company”) is an energy infrastructure company providing floating chemical plants used by oil and gas companies to convert natural gas into liquified natural gas (“LNG”). The Company converts LNG ships into floating LNG (“FLNG”) plants and rents the ships to oil and gas companies on 20-year leases. In exchange, Golar receives a fixed toll plus commodity price upside.

Golar’s customers include National Oil Companies (“NOCs”) and independent oil and gas producers (e.g. BP, Exxon). National Oil Companies are state-owned entities responsible for developing a country’s natural resources (e.g. Saudi Aramco in Saudi Arabia or Pemex in Mexico). NOCs will often contract with independent energy companies like Golar to bring in expertise for projects.

Independent oil companies will also partner with Golar to license its FLNG technology. BP has contracted Golar’s FLNG Gimi in a 20-year contract offshore Mauritania and Senegal. However, companies including Shell and Eni have vertically integrated an FLNG solution with varying degrees of success. Vertical integration is Golar’s primary competitor, as no other companies provide “FLNG-as-a-service”…” (Click here to read the full text)
