Technip confirms Shtokman win
French contractor Technip has confirmed it has been awarded a front-end
engineering contract for the onshore portion of the first stage of the
Shtokman gas project in Russia’s Barents Sea, including its liquefied
natural gas facilities.
Technip said the facilities would be built at the town of Teriberka, 120
kilometres east of Murmansk and would include a gas pipeline terminal, a gas
treatment plant, a LNG train with a capacity of 7.5 million tonnes per year
as well as an export plant.
The company said the front-end work, which is scheduled to be completed by
mid-2009, would be handled by its operating centres in Paris and St
Petersburg.
Technip said it had also been handed two further contracts for the Shtokman
development, one to establish project standards and another to assist the
project in defining site preparation works.
Shtokman is being developed by Sevmorneftegaz, a 100%-owned unit of Russian
gas export monopoly Gazprom (51%), together with France’s Total (25%) and
Norway’s StatoilHydro (24%).
