Aconex Limited, provider of cloud collaboration platform for the global construction industry, said that Japan Petroleum Exploration is using the Aconex platform to manage construction of its first liquefied natural gas terminal.
Project deliverables consist of a cargo ship berth, a massive storage tank and a connecting pipeline for LNG, the company said in a statement.
The pipeline will transfer vaporized gas from the terminal in Soma Port to a main trunk pipeline. The estimated project value is US$500 million, and the three-year delivery schedule is accelerated compared to other LNG terminal projects.
The Soma LNG terminal will store and vaporize LNG to be offloaded from large ocean-going tankers docked at the new cargo ship berth in Soma Port. The 40-kilometer pipeline will convey the vaporized gas from the terminal to the JAPEX Niigata-Sendai Pipeline.
