Gabon is set to see the development of a mega liquefied natural gas facility for which Dixstone will be delivering a construction, procurement and integration contract for the project in Cap Lopez
It will be a nearshore type LNG facility designed to produce 0.7mn tonnes per annum of LNG and 25,000 tons of LPG per year in the first phase. A gas tanker will be converted to a floating storage and offloading vessel that will have a storage capacity of 137,000 cu/m.
The liquefaction barge will be constructed in the company's new office in Dubai, which has been chosen as a strategic location to extend its 20-year-long vessel conversion experience for clients around the world.
Dixstone will be utilising the Les Chantiers du Gabon yard in Port-Gentil to work with Perenco Oil & Gas Gabon, supporting gas mobilisation activities from the fields it operates on the region. This way, it will also advance local content and support the works at Cap Lopez Terminal.
