99.1</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><b><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:9.0pt;">Acquisition
of Golar LNG Energy Shares</font></b><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:9.0pt;"> </font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;text-align:justify;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:9.0pt;">Golar
LNG Limited (Nasdaq:GLNG; OSE:GOL) (&quot;Golar&quot; or the
&quot;Company&quot;) today announced that in two private transactions with
international institutional investors and a related party it has increased its
ownership of Golar LNG Energy Limited (Oslo Axess:GOLE) (&quot;Golar
Energy&quot;) from 61.1% to 90.5% with agreements to acquire an additional
69,841,044 Golar Energy shares. The sellers will receive one newly-issued Golar
share for every 6.06 Golar Energy shares acquired. The shares will be issued at
$30.30. </font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;text-align:justify;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:9.0pt;">The
share acquisitions have been organised in two transactions. In the first
transaction Golar has acquired 36,300,891 shares from international
institutional investors and in the second transaction has acquired 33,540,153
from World Shipholding Limited, the Company's major shareholder. In first
transaction shares will be issued with immediate effect. In the second
transaction the shares will be issued upon filing of a prospectus. The two
transactions will increase the Company's share capital by 11,524,911.</font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;text-align:justify;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:9.0pt;">With
the successful formation of Golar LNG Partners L.P., the Board of Directors of
the Company believes that the increase in ownership of Golar Energy best serves
the Company's strategy. While long-term contracted assets will be offered to
Golar LNG Partners L.P. for acquisition, Golar will continue to develop
long-term contracted projects within the LNG midstream sector as well as
shorter term business and its LNG trading business. Golar will also hold a
significant stake in Golar LNG Partners L.P. as well as its general partner and
its incentive distribution rights.&nbsp; </font></p>

ASA, Carnegie ASA, RS Platou Markets AS advised the Company on
the private exchange transaction.</font><b><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:9.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></b></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;text-align:justify;"><b><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:9.0pt;">Forward
Looking Statements</font></b></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;text-align:justify;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:9.0pt;">This
press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements are based
upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions, including the Company management's examination of historical
operating trends. Although Golar believes that these assumptions were
reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict
and are beyond its control, the Company cannot give assurance that it will achieve
or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or intentions.</font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;text-align:justify;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:9.0pt;">Important
factors that, in the Company's view, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those discussed in this press release include the strength of
world economies and currencies, general market conditions including
fluctuations in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the
shipping market, changes in the Company's operating expenses including bunker
prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, changes in governmental rules and
regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, the demand for liquid
natural gas and supply of LNG carriers, potential liability from pending or
future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions,
potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events,
regulatory requirements and other important factors described from time to time
in the reports filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.</font></p>
