Black & Veatch will provide technology and services for the world’s first Floating LNG Liquefaction, Regasification and Storage Unit called EXMAR EXPORT™. It will be a non-propelled barge moored to a jetty, supplied with gas by pipeline from the onshore La Creciente field, located in the Lower Magdalena Valley Basin in Colombia. Black & Veatch will provide engineering and procurement for topside liquefaction equipment and packages using its patented PRICO® LNG technology. They will also provide on-site commissioning and startup services. Once the EXPORT™ has been built, it will be towed from China to Colombia where it will be owned and operated by EXMAR for Pacific Rubiales Energy Corporation. The EXPORT™ will be located off the coast of Colombia. It will begin production at the end of 2014 giving the country greater access to global LNG import and export markets.Wison Offshore & Marine Ltd (Wison) will deliver the overall engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning to EXMAR. Headquartered in Shanghai, Wison will construct the facility through its wholly-owned fabrication facility in Nantong, China. A global Black & Veatch team working from offices in several countries will be supporting Wison on this project.
