Rovuma LNG project lets FEED

Technip Energies and JGC Corp. have been awarded the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for the Rovuma LNG project in Africa.

The facility is a joint venture of ExxonMobil, Eni, and CNPC and will be at Palma in the Afungi peninsula, Northeast of Mozambique.

The Rovuma LNG project will consist of an LNG plant with a total production capacity of 18 Mtpa, comprising 12 fully modularized LNG trains of 1.5 Mtpa each.

The plant design will feature electric-driven LNG trains instead of gas turbines, reducing greenhouse gases emissions compared to conventional LNG projects, the companies said. It will also include prefabricated and standardized modules to be assembled at the project site in Mozambique, offering cost competitiveness and certainty in delivery schedule.

Mario Tommaselli, SVP Gas and Low Carbon Energies of Technip Energies commented: “We are honored to have been selected by ExxonMobil and its partners to design the Rovuma LNG project. By leveraging our expertise in modularization and electrified LNG, we are committed to support ExxonMobil and its partners towards final investment decision, as well as strengthening our presence in Mozambique to contribute to long-term economic growth and its ambition to become one of Africa’s leading LNG exporters.”

Farhan Mujib, Representative Director, President of JGC, commented: “We are pleased to have been awarded by ExxonMobil and its partners, large-scale and environmentally efficient LNG Project in Mozambique. With the global focus on decarbonization and energy security, the JGC Group is accelerating the promotion of energy transition, and this project is firmly in line with the direction of our strategy. We are convinced this project of national significance will contribute to enhance economic and industrial growth in Mozambique and East Africa.”
