Saipem and its partners Chiyoda and Daewoo E&C have won the race for Nigeria LNG (NLNG)’s Train 7 expansion contract in a deal thought to be worth about $6 billion.

The so-called SCD consortium signed a letter of intent with NLNG in Abuja this week that is set to lead to a full engineering, procurement and construction award for the 8-million tonne per annum, two-train facility at Nigeria’s Bonny Island.
