LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7 -- CB&I John Brown Ltd., The Woodlands, Tex., has awarded the UK's Cape PLC a contract on the South Hook LNG terminal construction project at Milford Haven, Wales, UK.
Cape said it will provide the "common user access service" for the main process unit on the terminal, which is due to be completed by winter 2007-08.
The South Hook terminal will be owned and operated by South Hook LNG Terminal Co., a joint venture of Qatar Terminal Co. Ltd. and ExxonMobil Qatargas (II) Terminal Co. Ltd.
In November 2004 CB&I was awarded a lump-sum turnkey contract with a value estimated between $725-750 million for Phase 1 of the South Hook grassroots LNG import terminal.
In March 2005 South Hook LNG awarded CB&I a lump-sum turnkey contract for Phase II of the LNG import terminal.
LNG for South Hook will be supplied from the Qatar Liquefied Gas Co. Ltd. (Qatargas II) LNG plant being built at Ras Laffan Industrial City in Qatar.
Qatargas II will supply 15.6 million tonnes/year of LNG to the UK for 25 years, with the first deliveries expected in winter 2007-08.
Gas for Qatargas II will come from Qatar's North field, which has recoverable gas resources in excess of 900 tcf.
