HOUSTON, Jan. 24 -- BG Group, UK, has signed an agreement to supply 2.4 million tonnes/year (tpy) of LNG to Ente Nazionale Energia Elettrica (ENEL) SPA at the 6 million tpy Brindisi LNG terminal under construction in southern Italy.
The LNG at first will come from the 3.6 million tpy Egyptian LNG Train 2, in which BG holds a 38% interest, under construction at Idku, Egypt (OGJ, June 14, 2004, p. 58). Until the Brindisi LNG terminal is commissioned in 2008, the Egyptian output will go primarily to the import terminal in Lake Charles, La., in which BG LNG Services LLC holds 100% of the capacity rights (OGJ Online, July 02, 2003).
Brindisi LNG SPA, a joint venture of BG and ENEL, let an engineering, procurement, and construction contract for the Italian terminal to a consortium led by Tecnimont SPA and including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd, Grandi Lavori Fincosit SPA, Consorzio Cooperativa Costruttori, Sofregaz SA, and Vinci Construction Grands Projets SAS.
