§Winston Score History

The full picture

Golar LNG Limited is a shipping and infrastructure company that moves liquefied natural gas (LNG) around the world. LNG is natural gas that has been cooled into a liquid so it can be loaded onto special ships and transported to countries that need energy. Golar owns and operates a fleet of LNG carriers and, more distinctively, floating liquefaction vessels (FLNGs) — offshore platforms that convert natural gas directly into LNG at sea without needing land-based facilities.

Golar earns money through long-term contracts to charter its vessels and FLNGs to energy producers and utilities, which provides relatively predictable cash flows. The company operates globally, with assets deployed in places like West Africa and South America, and it has a market cap of around $5 billion. Its FLNG technology is a meaningful competitive differentiator, since these assets allow gas producers to monetize offshore fields that would otherwise be too costly to develop — though the business carries risk from project concentration and volatile LNG market conditions.
