Technomak announced in a social media post the signing of a “significant” engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and integration (EPCCI) agreement with Dixstone for Perenco’s Cap Lopez FLNG project.
This partnership marks a “major” step forward in Technomak’s expanding role in providing advanced offshore modular solutions, it said.
The Cap Lopez FLNG facility will have an annual production capacity of 700,000 tons of LNG and 25,000 tons of LPG.
A central component of the project, the FLNG barge, will be fabricated and integrated at Technomak’s yard in the UAE prior to its deployment at the Cap Lopez terminal in Gabon, Technomak said.
Technomak did not provide the pricing or any other details regarding the contract.
In September last year, Dixstone, a unit of London-based oil and gas firm Perenco, announced it had secured a construction, procurement, and integration contract for Perenco’s $1 billion floating LNG export project at Cap Lopez, saying the project includes a near-shore liquefaction barge and LNG storage.
Two months later, Dixstone announced the arrival of the Bran6 barge at UAE’s Hamriyah port in Sharjah.
Disxtone said the barge will be converted into a “fully functional FLNG plant for our client Perenco Oil & Gas Gabon.”
In addition to the barge, Perenco will deploy a 2003-built steam LNG carrier to serve as a floating storage unit for its LNG export project at Cap Lopez
Dixstone said in March that the “FSU LNG Cap Lopez” arrived at UAE’s Port Khalid, Sharjah, on March 12.
The LNG carrier in question is the 137,500-cbm LNG Bayelsa.
VesselsValue data shows that Perenco bought this vessel from Nigeria’s Bonny Gas Transport (BGT), the shipping unit of LNG producer Nigeria LNG, earlier this year.
