The FLNG project is being conducted by the joint venture formed between Petrobras, BG, Repsol and Galp Energia for the challenging pre-salt reservoirs of the Santos basin offshore Brazil. The project is expected to be the first FLNG unit in Brazil and is to be designed for a capacity of approximately 2.7 million tons per annum of LNG.
A final investment decision on the project will be made by Petrobras once the FEED study and the analysis of other options are completed. Scheduled to be completed by the end of 2010, the FEED study will be executed in Technip’s operating centres in Paris, France and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The award is Technip’s second FLNG contract signed in 2009. Earlier in July, the company signed a contract with Shell.
