JGC Corporation, as a part of a consortium with JGC Group company, JGC Malaysia, has been awarded a contract by PETRONAS LNG 9 (PL9SB), a wholly owned subsidiary of PETRONAS. This engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract award is part of the expansion of the PETRONAS’ LNG Complex (PLC) in Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia. The contract, valued at approximately EUR 0.45B, calls for the EPCC work associated with expansion of LNG storage and shipping facilities at the PLC. The PLC is one of the world’s largest LNG production facilities and currently has eight production trains with a combined capacity of 25.7MPTA.
The contract received by JGC calls for EPCC work associated with construction of the piping and associated facilities connecting the existing six LNG storage tanks and the seventh new LNG storage tank with the shipping facilities. This includes the piping connecting the LNG rundown lines from the existing LNG trains with the LNG rundown line from the ninth LNG train currently under construction.
JGC has constructed all existing eight trains at PLC since the 1980s, and is currently executing the EPCC work on the ninth train. Since the completion of the first LNG train at PLC, JGC has also continued to work on rejuvenation, expansion and revamping projects at the PLC.
