Texas LNG LLC has announced that it has awarded Samsung Engineering Co. Ltd and KBR Inc. contracts to construct its proposed 4 million tpy LNG export facility. Under the contract, Samsung and KBR will provide pre-final investment decision detailed engineering, and post-final investment decision engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for the project.
Samsung is a minority equity owner and technical partner of Texas LNG, and has already carried out the conceptual study, pre-front end engineering and design (pre-FEED) and FEED work for the project. The project design involves the construction of modular designed and pre-fabricated liquefaction trains, using proven technology and standardized components in a controlled shipyard environment. This aims to decrease the overall cost of the project, reduce complicated civil construction works, minimize local onsite environmental impact, and minimize construction costs during the permanent installation.
