The Yamal LNG project consists of the production, treatment, transportation, liquefaction and shipping of natural gas and natural gas liquids from the South Tambey field on the Yamal Peninsula in northern Siberia, Russia.

The project scope for CB&I includes FEED development for the 16.5 million tonnes per annum LNG liquefaction plant, including LNG storage and loading facilities.

CB&I’s FEED execution plan is based on engaging its international partners, Chiyoda and Saipem, as well as collaboration with Russian Design Institute – NIPIgazpererabotka, to address local design and authority approval requirements.

The FEED will provide a firm basis for the detailed engineering, procurement and construction phase, as well as project schedule and cost estimates to enable Yamal LNG to secure the final investment decision.

The work is slated for completion in the first quarter of 2012.
