Samsung Engineering announced on May 26 that it had won a design contract for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction plant to be built in the Brownsville area of southern Texas, USA.
Samsung Engineering signed a contract with Texas LNG Brownsville LLC for the Pre-FID (Final Investment Decision) engineering work for the Texas LNG project the day before.
The contract amount was not disclosed due to circumstances of the ordering party.
Samsung Engineering and Technip Energies will jointly carry out this work for 11 months.
This project is to build an LNG export plant with an annual capacity of 4 million tons. The plant consists of an LNG liquefaction facility and a utility facility.
Samsung Engineering participated in the project from the beginning and performed the basic design (FEED) for Pre-FEED and US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval.
With this contract, Samsung Engineering plans to update the existing FEED and calculate the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) budget.
This project is expected to be converted to EPC next year when FID is completed.
"With differentiated design technology, Samsung Engineering is seeing results one after another from the initial stage of this project," said Samsung Engineering. "We will successfully carry out design work and win EPC-linked orders."
