Beijing-based China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) has taken a pioneering step to invest in upstream development in Africa, building on its expertise in infrastructure construction and offshore engineering, procurement and construction.
CCCC has decided to farm in for a majority stake in the integrated Calub and Hilala gas project in Ethiopia that will require construction of both onshore and offshore facilities before gas can be exported as liquefied natural gas via a terminal in Djibouti.
