French engineering company Technip Energies has secured a contract with Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Group and Shaanxi Gas Group for the 3 million cubic metres per day Xi’An LNG Emergency Reserve & Peak Regulation project in China.
The company described the contract as significant, which means it represents between €50 million and €250 million of revenue.
It covers the process design package (PDP), front-end engineering and design (FEED) and supply of key equipment for a single 0.8 million ton per annum (mtpa) LNG train. The contract also includes technical services for construction, commissioning, start-up and performance testing.
According to Technip Energies, the plant will utilize AP-SMR™ liquefaction technology which is well suited for mid-scale LNG and will be all-electric motor-driven to reduce emissions. It will be the largest liquefaction unit in the world using a single electric motor-driven mixed refrigerant compressor and is expected to become a reference in terms of low-carbon LNG production.
Loic Chapuis , SVP Gas & Low-carbon Energies of Technip Energies, said: “We are pleased to have been one more time entrusted by Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Group and Shaanxi Gas Group following the successful Yangling LNG project awarded in 2012.
“ This award strengthens our positioning in the mid-scale LNG market in China. By being all-electric motor-driven, this LNG plant will be a reference for low-carbon LNG in the industry and we are committed to bringing our leadership in LNG and best-in-class execution to support our client in this important project.”
