Expected to be the world’s first nearshore project of its kind, the planned facility will be the third FLNG plant to be constructed for the Malaysian offshore gas fields.

With a minimum production capacity of two million tonnes of LNG annually, the FLNG is scheduled to be completed in 2027.

JGC will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, and commissioning work for the FLNG topside, the associated onshore facilities, and the management of the overall project.

JGC Holdings Corporation representative director, president and COO Tadashi Ishizuka said: “We believe that our consortium secured the order for the Petronas FLNG facility project on the basis of JGC’s world-leading project management capabilities and the company’s advanced and proven technologies in LNG plants, accounting for about 30% of LNG plants worldwide, as well as SHI’s world-class shipbuilding capabilities in this field.

“JGC’s strong leadership backed by excellent project management know-how has been demonstrated during the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) stage.”
