FGEN LNG Corp. has named Jacobs owner's engineer for the engineering, procurement, and construction of FGEN's interim offshore terminal project at the First Gen Corp. clean energy complex in Batangas City, Philippines. As owner's engineer, Jacobs will undertake design review, project management, and supervision of the construction of the project.
Work comprises modification of an existing liquid fuels jetty to accommodate a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) as well as LNG carriers. Scope includes modifications to the jetty head, berthing, and mooring; a trestle bridge with high-pressure gas pipeline and utilities; and a jetty monitoring building and control room.
The modified terminal will supply existing gas-fired power plants, which in 2019 were responsible for delivering 13,876 Gw/hr into the Luzon grid, according to Jacobs.
FGEN earlier in the month leased the terminal’s FSRU from BW Gas (OGJ Online, Apr. 5, 2021).
