Chinese FLNG builder Wison New Energies has signed a strategic memorandum of understanding with Germany’s Siemens Energy.
The agreement was signed on Wednesday during the Gastech exhibition and conference, currently being held in Milan, Italy.
Under the MoU, the duo will co-develop optimized configurations of SE’s SGT-750 gas turbine packages and motor compressor packages, specifically tailored for Wison’s floating LNG and FPSO projects, while maintaining a frame agreement toolbox to streamline technical and commercial processes, reducing project lead times.
Cheng Yuanyun, CEO of WNE, said partnering with SE allows the firm to combine engineering excellence with technology to meet the evolving needs of its clients.
Andreas Pistauer, VP gas service sales, SiE, addded that the firm is “excited” to deepen its collaboration with WNE.
Wison has signed several deals for FLNG units.
Last month, Wison held a sail-away ceremony for the Nguya FLNG unit in Shanghai, China.
The unit will serve the second phase of Eni’s Congo LNG project.
WNE won a contract from Eni in December 2022 to build a 380-meter-long 2.4 mtpa FLNG and officially started work on the project in January 2023.
