ENI has introduced a new, phased approach to the Congo (Brazzaville) FLNG (Floating Liquefied Natural Gas) project, leveraging Marine XII natural gas resources and existing production facilities. This approach will bring the plateau region's natural gas liquefaction capacity to approximately 4.5 billion cubic meters per year and achieve zero flaring of conventional natural gas. The project is planned to be equipped with two FLNG vessels. The second vessel, currently under construction, will have a capacity of about 3.5 billion cubic meters per year (2.4 million tons per year) and is expected to commence operations in 2025.
All the LNG produced by the project will be sold by ENI, ensuring the supply of natural gas to meet Congo (Brazzaville)’s power generation needs while promoting LNG exports and supplying new gas to the international market, with a focus on Europe.
This project marks the first time that a Chinese company has provided complete EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) services for a large-scale floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project. The FLNG vessel has an annual production capacity of 2.4 million tons, with the upper module weighing over 40,000 tons. The project has a short delivery schedule and complex technical requirements, with domestic substitution of marine-grade structural steel and copper-nickel alloy products used in the upper modules. Our company, in collaboration with experienced partners, overcame challenges and safely delivered the project ahead of schedule.
Main supplied products: Copper-nickel alloy pipes and pipe fittings, AH36 channel steel, H-beam steel, etc.
