Oman Liquefied Natural Gas LLC, Oman LNG awarded the project related to Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) for the turbo-machinery scope of its debottlenecking project.
The project has been awarded to international energy firm, Baker Hughes.
Under the terms of the deal, Baker Hughes will supply the new helper motors, variable-frequency drives and deliver the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the said project scope.
Once the project completed, Oman LNG production capacity will be increased to 10 per cent equivalent to 11.4 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTA)
Debottlenecking is the process of highlighting specific areas in production trains, machinery equipment or the workflow configuration that would limit or constrain the flow of product inside the plant.
By optimizing plant operations, overall capacity can be raised further. The debottlenecking project comes as part of Oman LNG’s far-sighted strategic projects that will boost its efficiency.
Front-end engineering design (FEED) for the project completed in 2019 and awarded to Baker Hughes in Q4 2019.
The project will be executed over the next two years. The first train completion by the end of 2020, followed by the second LNG train in 2021, and the third LNG train by 2022.
