May 9 (LNGJ) - Australian LNG operator Santos said its Barossa natural gas project offshore the northwest coast had strengthened its position as the leading candidate to extend the lifespan of the Darwin LNG export plant in the Northern Territory as the Adelaide-based company awarded the subsea production system contract for the gas field.
“Following a competitive tender, Technip Oceania Pty Ltd was the successful bidder. The engineering, procurement and construction contract represents a commitment to long-lead items in advance of a final investment decision,” said Santos. The contract includes the engineering, design and fabrication of wellheads, manifolds and control systems as well as installation and commissioning assistance.
