Technip wins contract for SCT&E LNG’s $6.9bn export terminal in US

Technip has secured a contract for SCT&E LNG’s proposed $6.9bn liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal on Monkey Island in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, US.

Under the agreement, Technip will provide engineering services that are needed to develop the project including the front end engineering design (FEED) and support the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) process.

Technip North America onshore business unit chief operating officer Harvey Vigneault said: “Our experienced team of LNG and project professionals will utilise their extensive experience and expertise to place the Monkey Island LNG project in the best position moving forward.

“This award will add to Technip’s depth of recent projects the company has participated in along the US Gulf Coast region, as well as strengthen its longstanding leadership position in LNG projects globally.”

The SCT&E LNG project has total liquefaction capacity of 12 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), which will be achieved through three identical 4mtpa natural gas liquefaction trains, along with utilities, storage, and marine facilities.

The contract will be executed by Technip’s operating centre in Houston, Texas, US.

SCT&E LNG chairman and CEO Greg Michaels said: “Technip has more than 50 years of LNG experience, which includes the first baseload LNG liquefaction project.

“Overall, their extensive experience, especially in recent US Gulf Coast LNG projects, and their assigned project team were key factors in our decision to select Technip.”

The project site is located near the US natural gas intrastate and interstate pipeline systems.
