Technip, leader of a consortium with Samsung Engineering and China’s Huanqiu Contracting & Engineering Corporation, was awarded a contract for the front-end engineering design and the early detailed engineering services of a grassroot liquefied natural gas (LNG) project by the Pacific NorthWest LNG Limited Partnership. This project is proposed to be located on Lelu Island, British Columbia, Canada.
This contract is part of a multiple design competition scheme. Technip’s operating centre in Rome, Italy will execute the contract together with the consortium project team in Seoul, Korea and Beijing, China. Technip will be in charge of the LNG trains, the process units and marine facilities. The project is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2014. Marco Villa, Technip’s Senior Vice President of Technip Region B, declared, “This award confirms our strong position in the liquefaction of natural gas. It is also in line with our strategy to get involved at early stages of projects.”
