French-based engineering and technology company Technip Energies, in partnership with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries, has been awarded a significant contract by the Eni-led Mozambique Rovuma Venture to progress work on the Coral Norte FLNG project. This significant contract builds on the previously announced early works contract and confirms the continued advancement of Technip Energies’ scope of work on the Coral Norte FLNG project. The financials were not revealed. However, the company stated that the contract was significant, typically in the €50m-€250m ($59m-$295m) range. Through early works and the adoption of the replica concept, the project is progressing fast, and the hull launch took place on January 16 in Geoje, South Korea. Coral Norte is designed as an enhanced replica of the successful Coral Sul project, drawing on the same feed gas composition and field location. By capitalising on proven design and incorporating lessons learned, Coral Norte will benefit from de-risked project execution, increased efficiency, LNG capacity, and optimised performance, delivering greater certainty and predictability at scale. The Coral North project will develop, construct, and operate an FLNG facility with an annual capacity of 3.6 mtpa, some 55 km off the coast of the Cabo Delgado province. It will double Mozambique’s total LNG output to 7 mtpa. The Eni-led project is expected to cost more than $7bn. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsFrance Italy Mozambique
