on Jan 12, 2013
Fluor Corporation and JGC Corporation have announced winning a 50/50 joint venture front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the first natural gas liquefaction facility in Mozambique.
The project is located in the Cabo Delgado Province, 2,000km northeast of the capital city Maputo.
The FEED will deliver designs for the initial phase of the Mozambique LNG project of four trains, each producing five million metric tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas (20 MMTPA total), with the potential of expansion in capacity up to 50 MMTPA.
“This is an important regional and strategic win for both joint venture parent companies,” said Peter Oosterveer, Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals Group president.
“The team leverages the combined strengths of JGC’s industry-leading LNG experience with Fluor’s 50-plus year reputation for executing large complex projects in sub-Saharan Africa.”
Fluor will book the contract in the first quarter 2013, while the first LNG cargo is targeted for 2018.
