Technip was awarded by Trunkline LNG
Export, LLC the front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the
potential expansion of the existing liquefied natural gas (LNG) import
terminal located in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The potential expansion project includes a
LNG liquefaction plant, with a total export capacity of up to
approximately 15 million tonnes per annum, so that a portion of the vast
additional supplies of natural gas produced from shale gas fields
across the US can be exported to international markets. The total
liquefaction capacity could be achieved through up to three identical
trains, with associated utilities and offsite facilities as well as the
re-use of the existing LNG offloading, storage and marine facilities.
Air Products has been selected to supply its C3MR liquefaction process
technology for this FEED study.
Technip’s operating center in Houston,
Texas will execute the contract with the support from the Group’s center
in Paris, France. It is scheduled for completion during the first half
of 2014.
David Dickson, Technip’s Senior Vice
President, North America Region, stated: “Adding liquefaction
capabilities to the existing infrastructure would provide the option of
switching from regasification to liquefaction, depending on the world
market for LNG. This award constitutes the first LNG liquefaction FEED
project for Technip in the US. It is also a true testimony of BG Group
and its partners’ trust in our expertise as, after working for them in
the subsea and offshore businesses, we are now expanding our
collaboration to onshore.”
