Technip awarded EPCIC contract for Petronas FLNG1

PARIS -- Technip has been awarded an engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning contract by Petronas Carigali for the tie-in of the Petronas First Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (PFLNG1) facility to the KAKG-A platform in Kanowit field, 200 km offshore Bintulu, East Malaysia, at a water depth of  approximately 80 m. 

The contract covers the procurement and installation of a 3.2 km flexible flowline between the existing KAKG-A central processing platform, in Kanowit field, and the PFLNG1 riser. It also includes modification and tie-in works at KAKG-A. 

Technip’s operating center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will execute the contract.

The flexible flowline will be manufactured in Asiaflex Products, Technip’s manufacturing facility in Tanjung Langsat, Johor, Malaysia. It will then be installed by the group’s multipurpose vessel, the Deep Orient. The installation campaign is scheduled for completion in late 2015. 

The PFLNG1 vessel, which will produce 1.2 million tonnes of LNG per year, will play a significant role in Petronas’ efforts to unlock gas reserves in Malaysia's remote and stranded fields to help meet the growing demand for gas.
