JGC in partnership with Hyundai Engineering & Construction awarded the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) and Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) estimation contract for the LNG facilities (downstream) of the Papua LNG project.
The project calls for the design of approximately 4 MMT/Y of gas liquefaction capacity adjacent to the existing ExxonMobil-operated PNG LNG processing facilities located 20-Km northwest of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
The project’s feedgas to be sourced from the Elk Antelope gasfield.
According to the
Global LNG Database®, Papua LNG joint venture had launched fully-integrated front-end engineering and design (FEED) for the 6 MMT/Y Papua LNG project with first production expected by the end of 2027 or early 2028.
Following pre-FEED studies, the Papua LNG partners have selected a concept using four electric LNG trains (e-trains) with a combined capacity of 4 MMT/Y to be developed within the existing PNG LNG project site. Papua LNG has also secured access to up to 2 MMT/Y of existing liquefaction capacity from PNG LNG.
The Papua LNG will adopt an "E-Drive" design, where electricmotors instead of conventional gasturbines drive the naturalgas compressors, JGC said, adding that this will help reduce CO2emissions during operations of the LNG facilities.
