This section summarizes some of the information that is contained later in this prospectus or in other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. As an investor or prospective investor, you should review carefully the risk factors and the more detailed information that appears later in this prospectus or is contained in the documents that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus.

Unless we otherwise specify, when used in this prospectus, the terms “Golar LNG Limited,” “Golar,” “Golar LNG,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Golar LNG Limited or any one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to all such entities.

We design, convert, own and operate marine infrastructure for the liquefaction of natural gas, and are a leading provider of floating liquefaction natural gas vessel (“FLNG”) as a service. We believe that natural gas has a critical role to play in providing cleaner energy for many years to come. Our pioneering infrastructure solutions provide safe, competitive and sustainable ways of liquefying gas globally. Our mission is to be recognized as an organization with an outstanding reputation for safe, reliable and cost-effective operations; to employ and develop talented people who appreciate the impact of their work towards the Company’s mission; to develop a portfolio of new FLNG infrastructure opportunities and convert the best opportunities into world-class projects; and to be a great business partner, where combining skills and resources makes a big difference.

Our strategy is to provide market-leading FLNG operations and maintain balance sheet flexibility to maximize shareholder returns through accretive FLNG projects. We offer gas resource holders a proven, capital efficient and timely solution to monetize stranded, associated, flared or otherwise underutilized gas reserves. Our industry leading FLNG operational track record and FLNG growth prospects allow gas resource holders, developers and customers access to a low-cost, low-risk, rapidly deployable solution for natural gas liquefaction.

FLNG projects provide a solution for gas reserves where geographical, technical, political and economic constraints limit monetization through traditional infrastructure. Our standardized FLNG units can be redeployed to new opportunities after producing a field and offer a viable economic alternative to large-scale land-based projects. Our liquefaction solution and accelerated execution model place liquefaction technology onboard an existing LNG carrier, converting such carriers into a fully commissioned FLNG.

The FLNG industry is in the early stages of development, and we do not currently face significant competition from other providers of FLNG services. There are currently nine FLNGs on the water, including our two that provide liquefaction as a service (FLNG Hilli Episeyo and FLNG Gimi), six FLNGs being used to liquefy the resource holder’s own gas and one being used to liquefy gas to service its downstream portfolio. Further, there are currently five FLNGs under conversion or construction, including our MKII FLNG. We anticipate that more companies will enter the FLNG industry at some point in the future, resulting in greater competition.
