New York-listed Fluor and Japan-based JGC have announced that their 50:50 joint venture (JV) has been awarded a front-end engineering and design (Feed) contract by oil exploration company Anadarko Moçambique Area 1 for an onshore natural gas liquefaction facility in Mozambique. The facility will be located in the Cabo Delgado province, 2 000 km north-east of Maputo.

Fluor said the Feed would deliver designs for the initial phase of the project, which would consist of four trains, each capable of producing five-million tons a year of liquefied natural gas (LNG), culminating in 20-million tons a year.

The project has the potential to expand to a capacity of about 50-million tons a year of LNG.

The facility is the first LNG project in Mozambique and feedstock will come from offshore production facilities.

The first LNG cargo is targeted for 2018.

“In the region, this is an important and strategic win for both JV parent companies,” Fluor energy and chemicals group president Peter Oosterveer said.

“We brought together a talented and experienced team that leverages the combined strengths of JGC’s industry-leading LNG experience with Fluor’s fifty-years-plus reputation for executing large complex projects in sub-Saharan Africa.”
