LNG engineer KBR said that it has been awarded a near-shore floating LNG Front End Engineering Design contract by Lloyds Energy.
Under this contract, KBR will provide integrated topsides and hull engineering design services for a nominal 2.5 million TPA floating natural gas liquefaction plant. Start-up of the project facilities is expected to take place in 2019, the company informed in a statement. The contract value was not disclosed.
All LNG processing facilities, together with the associated utilities and power generation, will be located on the FLNG barges, which will be moored at the end of a new single jetty, about 3.5km in length. LNG storage will be in the barge hulls and loading will be via a separate LNG carrier berth at the end of the jetty.
KBR said the work has already commenced and is expected to be completed in the first half of the first quarter 2016.
