Groupings square off for FEED fight at Nigeria LNG



By Upstream staff 

Two consortia are engaged in a design contest for the high-profile job of eventually building the seventh and eighth liquefaction trains for the Nigeria LNG development on Bonny Island, writes Mark Hillier.

Nigeria LNG (NLNG) last week confirmed to LNG Inside’s sister publication LNG Unlimited that the consortium of US-based KBR, with Japan’s JGC, France’s Technip and Italy’s Snamprogetti, widely known as TKSJ, and the pairing of Foster Wheeler with Japan’s Chiyoda, are working separately on front-end engineering and design contracts for its large-scale Seven- Plus expansion plan.

NLNG added that its board recently approved the dual-FEED contracts based on a common basis of design and that both teams are working on those jobs.

The LNG giant added that the intention is for both consortia to submit proposals for the engineering, procurement and construction contract for Train 7 of the expansion project on completion of the design work.

Compliance to Nigerian local content requirements is expected to be a major element of the competition between the two consortia for the EPC job, NLNG added.
