LNG

Woodside Petroleum said invitations to tender for construction of the Browse LNG plant have been issued to the two competing front-end engineering and design contractors. This follows the invitations to tender issued in September for the construction and installation of the Browse processing facility (topsides and jackets), dry tree units and subsea pipelines. Front-end engineering and design studies are nearing completion; and the geotechnical and environmental studies "are providing valuable data to support the design of the onshore LNG facilities and associated infrastructure."
