CB&I venture awarded Australia LNG project work
A CB&I joint venture with Chiyoda Corp. and Saipem S.p.A has been awarded a preparation and supply contract for the Arrow LNG plant project in Australia.
Arrow Energy Pty Ltd., the project operator, is a 50/50 joint venture partnered by Royal Dutch Shell and PetroChina.
The project, which will be designed with a production capacity of 8 million tpy (4 million tpa with two trains), is planned to be constructed on Curtis Island, off the coast of Gladstone, on the east coast of Queensland, Australia.
The project plans to expand its capacity up to 16 million tpy in the future.
The LNG plant will be supplied with coal seam gas from the Surat and Bowen basins in Queensland and will process, treat and liquefy the gas for export.
"We are pleased to be selected for this significant project, which will help meet the world’s demand for clean energy,” said Philip K. Asherman, CEO.
"This award builds on our proven worldwide LNG technical expertise and our 75-year history in Australia,” he added.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
