Feb 10 (LNGJ) - JGC Corp. of Japan, the leading LNG project engineer, said it was awarded the front-end engineering and design contract for a Gas Separation Plant in the Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan. KazMunayGas, Kazakhstan's state-owned energy company, is part of the project to construct a gas separation plant with a capacity of 957 million standard cubic feet per day adjacent to a plant that is run by the Tengiz Oilfield company, a joint venture comprising US majors ExxonMobil and Chevron and KazMunayGas and others.
“The selection of JGC as contractor for this project is believed to reflect the clients' strong positive evaluation of JGC's track record of involvement in gas processing plants worldwide, as well as its successful delivery of a project to modernize the Atyrau oil refinery for KazMunayGas completed in 2006,” said JGC.
