Russia | TechnipFMC awarded contract for
Arctic LNG 2 Project
T echnipFMC has been awarded a
major engineering, procurement
and construction (EPC) contract by
Novatek and its partners for the
Arctic LNG 2 project located in the
Gydan peninsula in West Siberia,
Russia.
This development will consist of
three LNG trains, each with a capacity
of 6.6 million tpy, which will be
installed on three gravity-based
structure platforms.
TechnipFMC will execute this
project under a lump sum and
reimbursable basis. It will cover the
EPC of the three LNG trains and
associated topsides, which will be
manufactured on a modular basis in
Asian and Russian yards.
Nello Uccelletti, President
Onshore/Offshore at TechnipFMC,
commented: “We are extremely
honoured to be entrusted with this
new contract by Novatek and its
partners. We are leveraging our
successful track record on the Yamal
LNG project and notably the modular
fabrication scheme.”
GCC | KBC awarded PIPs for three refineries
KBC (A Yokogawa Company) has
announced that it has been
awarded Profit Improvement
Programs (PIPs) for three oil
refineries in the Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC) region.
The PIPs, which are focused on
improving techno-economic
aspects of refinery operations, will
deliver improved safety, reliability
and profitability outcomes that
enhance triple bottom line
performance.
Via the PIPs, KBC will identify
and implement a series of on-site
productivity and efficiency
improvements across each of the
refineries focusing on capacity
utilisation, molecular management,
yield improvement, corrosion and
fouling mitigation and energy
efficiency.
India | Grace licenses polypropylene
technology to Nayara Energy
W . R. Grace & Co. has licensed its
UNIPOL® PP Process
Technology to Nayara Energy.
Located at the Vadinar Refinery
in Gujarat, India, the new,
world-scale capacity UNIPOL PP
facility will utilise 450 000 tpy of
propylene feedstock.
Nayara Energy intends to
produce phthalate-free
homopolymer products for the
Indian market using one of the most
advanced PP process and catalysts
technologies available.
Grace’s all gas-phase technology
provides a broad range of
polypropylene homopolymers,
random copolymers, and impact
copolymers in the industry. This
process technology has no moving
parts inside the reactor and has a
reliable, safe, and stable operation
that leads to lower capital, operating,
and maintenance costs.
