Dec 3 (LNGJ) - JGC Holdings Corp., the Japanese energy and LNG projects engineer, said it was awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract, along with consortium partner Samsung Heavy Industries of South Korea, for a nearshore floating LNG facility in Malaysia for national oil and gas company Petronas.

   Petronas had launched a FEED competition for the FLNG project with a minimum production capacity of 2 million tonnes per annum using feed gas supplied via an existing pipeline from an offshore gas field in the Malaysian state of Sabah. “Upon completion of the FEED competition, the engineering, procurement and construction contract will be awarded by Petronas, subject to a final investment decision, to the successful contractor,” said JGC.

Asia-Pacific LNG stakeholder Santos said it made further progress on the front-end engineering and design phase of the Barossa offshore project with the award of three major engineering contracts to continue supplying feed-gas to the Darwin LNG plant, operated by partner ConocoPhillips since 2006.
