Petronas, which is embarking on a new production train project at its Petronas LNG Complex in Bintulu, Sarawak, has awarded the contract for the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for it to JGC Corporation and to a partnership of Chiyoda Corporation and Saipem S.p.A.
The contract, awarded under a dual FEED scheme, will see the two contractors compete in the FEED and in the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) price proposal for the project, known as Petronas LNG Train 9, it said.
The FEED is scheduled to be completed in December 2012, where the winner will be awarded the project’s Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) contract, it said in a statement today.
The new LNG train will add another 3.6 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to the existing 24 mtpa production capacity of the Petronas LNG Complex and utilise the same liquefaction process technology as the complexs' existing eight
trains.
The required feed gas volume of up to 850 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) will be supplied by the various fields offshore Sarawak.
The project is targeted to meet its Final Investment Decision (FID) by first quarter of 2013 with the Ready for Start-Up (RFSU) date being the fourth quarter of 2015.
Upon completion, the Petronas LNG Train 9 will include gas receiving facilities, acid gas removal unit, dehydration and mercury removal unit, fractionation and liquefaction unit, LNG rundown unit and all the associated utilities and facilities.
The LNG produced from the new train will be exported via the existing storage and loading facilities within the complex. A new company, Petronas LNG 9 Sdn Bhd, was incorporated on Jan 13, 2012 to manage the project. -- Bernama
