A consortium made up of KBR and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. (the KD Consortium) have been awarded the FEED contract by ENI for a FLNG facility for the Coral South Development Project offshore Mozambique on Area 4. With the award, the KD consortium will be one of three consortia competing for the EPCIC contract to build the FLNG facility for ENI East Africa and its partners.
The KD Consortium will provide the FEED for the topsides, hull, and subsea for the FLNG facility. The topsides and turret are being designed in KBR’s Leatherhead office while the hull and marine system are being engineered in DSME’s facility in South Korea.
The FLNG facility will be a turret moored double-hull floating vessel, on which gas receiving, processing, liquefaction, and offloading facilities will be mounted together with LNG and condensate storage.
FEED activities started in May and are set for completion in April 2015. The submission of the EPCIC bids is expected by the end of May 2015.
“Developing a cost-effective solution for the first FLNG vessel in Mozambique was the rationale for developing the KD consortium,” said Stuart Bradie, KBR president and CEO. “The consortium allows us to leverage the strength of both companies to provide the client the best choice for the EPCIC portion of the project.”
ENI’s Coral South Development Project is located in the deep waters of the Rovuma Basin.
