Pieridae Energy Ltd. has named Andy Mukherjee P.Eng. as senior vice-president LNG to lead the development of the Goldboro LNG project, effective Aug. 27.
Mukherjee has experience working with EPCC contractors Jacobs, Worley, SNC Lavalin, Bechtel, and Fluor, in addition to managing EPCC contractors Wood Group, McDermott, KBR, Chiyoda, and JGC for fixed price contracts. He has worked on modular design and execution of four major global LNG projects: Qatargas NFE LNG, Cameron LNG, INPEX-Ichthys LNG, and British Gas QCLNG.
A final investment decision on the Nova Scotia, Canada, project was delayed to 2021 due to market conditions and the global fallout from COVID-19 (OGJ Online, Apr. 16, 2020). Pieridae expects Goldboro to begin exports by fourth-quarter 2023.
Goldboro will have a send-out capacity of 10 million tpy, loadable onto vessels as large as 250,000 cu m. The plant includes three 230,000 cu m storage tanks and will load 7-13 ships/month.
