PNG LNG contracts
March 17 (LNGJ) - A joint venture comprising JGC Holdings of Japan and South Korea’s Hyundai Engineering & Construction of South Korea have been awarded downstream contracts for the Papua New Guinea LNG expansion project. JGC and Hyundai were awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract and an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) estimation contract as part of a competition by PNG plant operator ExxonMobil on behalf of the Papua LNG project partners.
The project is to build 4 million tonnes per annum of LNG liquefaction capacity adjacent to the existing PNG LNG plant located northwest of the capital Port Moresby. It also includes the use of 2 MTPA of liquefaction capacity in the existing two Trains at PNG LNG. The expansion will use feed gas from the onshore Elk-Antelope gas field.
