A joint venture consisting of US company CB&I and Japan’s Chiyoda Corporation has been picked to participate in a liquefied natural gas project in Mozambique, CB&I said Monday.
“CC JV, a joint venture comprising of CB&I and Chiyoda Corporation, has been awarded a contract for the Front End Engineering and Design for the onshore natural gas liquefaction facility project in an LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) park in the Cabo Delgado Province of … the Republic of Mozambique,” said a statement.
Texas-based Anadarko said Friday it had reached an agreement with Italy’s ENI to jointly plan and construct the LNG plant, which the CB&I release said was the first of its kind in Mozambique. The first LNG cargo is planned for 2018.
Mozambique lies at the southern tip of a fault line running along the east African coast to Somalia, forming a geologically inviting region for natural gas that has become the focus of an exploration boom in recent years.
