LNG

Anadarko Petroleum, the US company that has agreed to be taken over by Occidental Petroleum and whose liquefied natural gas assets will be sold to French major Total, has awarded the main engineering contract for the onshore Mozambique LNG plant to a consortium of companies from Italy, the US and Japan.

Italian energy engineering company Saipem said it expected to be awarded an additional ramp-up contract worth over $1.2 billion for the huge Egyptian Zohr natural gas field in the East Mediterranean that has enabled the nation to end liquefied natural gas imports and to re-start LNG exports.

Saipem, the Italian energy and LNG engineering company, said it is part of a joint venture awarded a contract worth around $2.5 billion for the design and construction of the platform-based Arctic II LNG project being developed by Russian natural gas company Novatek.

Italian energy engineering company Saipem was awarded a joint venture contract with CTCI Corp. of Taiwan to construct Thailand’s new Nong Fab LNG import terminal, the nation’s second regasification facility.
