FLNG Liquefaction and FLNG Liquefaction 2 selected a joint venture of Zachry Industrial and CB&I to engineer, procure and construct the Freeport Liquefaction Project in Brazoria County, Texas. Zachry and CB&I will provide the overall EPC Project Management for the project. Zachry will lead the field management and direct-hire construction activities, and supply the bulk materials. CB&I will lead the engineering and design effort for the project, and procure major equipment and materials.
The project scope includes two Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) process trains, each with a capacity to produce in excess of 4.4 million tons per year (mtpa) of LNG; a gas pre-treatment facility; and an expansion to the existing dock infrastructure. The process trains will be located adjacent to the existing Freeport LNG Regasification Terminal on Quintana Island. The new award includes a limited notice to proceed on engineering and procurement services while the project awaits its final governmental approvals. A Letter of Intent has also been signed between the parties and an affiliated Freeport LNG entity for a third liquefaction process train that is being planned.
Zachry was the constructor of the original regasification terminal on Quintana Island. The Zachry/CB&I joint venture has been under contract with Freeport LNG since early 2012.
