JGC said the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning contract is valued close to US$2 billion, and work is due for completion at the end of 2015.
The new train will have a capacity of 3.6 million tonnes per annum of LNG.
Upstream reported on 11 March that JGC, which was responsible for the EPCC of the eight existing LNG trains at Bintulu, was tipped for the job ahead of a partnership between Italy’s Saipem and Japan’s Chiyoda.
