McDermott, in consortium with Saipem and China Petroleum Engineering and Construction Corporation, has been awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for the Rovuma LNG Phase 1 Project in Mozambique
The joint venture is between ExxonMobil Development Africa B.V., Eni S.p.A., and CNODC Dutch Cooperatief U.A.
The Rovuma LNG Phase 1 project marks a significant milestone for Mozambique, providing a considerable opportunity for economic growth. The project involves the liquefaction and export of natural gas from the Offshore Area 4 fields located off the Afungi Peninsula in Mozambique.
“LNG helps shape an entirely new era of energy solutions and McDermott plays a significant role in this global shift with more than 60 years of LNG experience,” said Rob Shaul, senior vice-president of McDermott's Low Carbon Solutions business. “McDermott is well established in Mozambique and can apply this knowledge and experience to continue the country's industrial, social and economic development.”
The FEED contract’s scope includes the modular design of a greenfield LNG production facility in Afungi, along with all related gas pre-treatment units, utilities, and offsite systems needed to support LNG production. The facility will have a total production capacity of 18 million tons per annum (MTPA). The contract also covers the engineering, procurement, and construction proposal.
