Oman LNG bunker plant
April 22 (LNGJ) - French major TotalEnergies is going ahead with a large investment in the Marsa liquefied natural gas project in the Sultanate of Oman to serve as the first LNG bunkering hub in the Middle East located at the port of Sohar. The joint venture between TotalEnergies and Oman National Oil Company will build a liquefaction plant with 1 million tonnes per annum of output and with first production scheduled for the first quarter of 2028.
Feed-gas will come from Oman’s Mabrouk North-East field in the onshore Block 10 area. The main engineering, procurement and construction contracts have been awarded to France’s Technip Energies for the LNG plant and to CB&I for the 165,000 cubic metres capacity LNG storage tank. The LNG is primarily intended to serve the marine fuel market in the Arabian Gulf region while LNG quantities not sold as bunker fuel will be off-taken by TotalEnergies and the Omani partner.
