Fluor, JGC JV awarded Moz gas liquefaction facility FEED contract
New York-listed Fluor and Japan-based JGC on Tuesday announced their 50:50 joint venture (JV) was awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract by oil exploration company Anadarko Moçambique Area 1 for an onshore natural gas liquefaction facility in Mozambique.
The facility will be located in the Cabo Delgado province, 2 000 km north-east of Mozambique’s capital, Maputo.
Fluor said the FEED would deliver designs for the initial phase of the project, which will consist of four trains, each capable of producing five-million tons a year of liquefied natural gas (LNG), culminating in 20-million metric tons a year.
The project has the potential to expand to a capacity of about 50-million metric tons a year of LNG.
The facility is the first LNG project in Mozambique and feedstock will come from offshore production facilities at Offshore Area 1, operated by Anadarko, and Offshore Area 4, operated by Eni.
The first LNG cargo is targeted for 2018.
“In the region, this is an important and strategic win for both JV parent companies,” Fluor’s energy and chemicals group president Peter Oosterveer said.
“We brought together a talented and experienced team that leverages the combined strengths of JGC’s industry-leading LNG experience with Fluor’s fifty-plus year reputation for executing large complex projects in sub-Saharan Africa.”
