Chinese based engineering company, Wison New Energies (WNE), is to undertake a feasibility study (DFS) for a newbuilding FLNG to operate in Suriname's Offshore Block 52.
This project marks a significant milestone for WNE, reaffirming its FLNG technical capabilities, while injecting fresh momentum into the global energy transition, the company claimed.
Located around 120 km off Suriname's coast, the FLNG will feed into the Sloanea Gas Field, at a water depth of around 450 m.
The unit will be able to receive feed gas from the subsea production system, process the stream to produce LNG & condensate product for both domestic use and for export.
WNE secured the contract amid fierce competition, leveraging its proven FLNG project experience, full-chain in-house technical capabilities spanning conceptual design to EPCIC delivery, and highly efficient pre-engineered FLNG design solutions that precisely align with client needs, the company claimed.
The DFS could serve as the basis for a front-end engineering design (FEED) study, accelerating Suriname’s energy independence, as it emerges as a strategic hub for offshore gas development, the company said.
"We are deeply honoured to be awarded on this transformative project," said An Wenxin, WNE Senior Vice President. "Drawing on our technical expertise and global FLNG track record, we are committed to providing Suriname with an efficient, sustainable, and integrated energy development pathway."
