Foster Wheeler’s scope of work will include concept design activities in order to support the finalization of the development concept and of the plant capacity for the expansion of LNG production at the Melkoya LNG facility, as well as energy optimization investigations.
Foster Wheeler’s involvement through this contract will continue through 2011.
The existing plant, on the island of Melkoya in the north of Norway, has a design capacity to produce 4.3 million mt/year of LNG from the remote Snohvit gas field in the Arctic.
Commissioned in 2007, it processes gas transported through 143km pipeline from the subsea facilities on the Snohvit and Albatross fields, which comprise the first offshore developments in the Barents Sea.
