Yesterday evening Gasunie signed a binding contract for the lease of a floating LNG installation (FSRU) from the American energy infrastructure company New Fortress Energy. For the next five years this vessel will convert liquefied natural gas into gas in the Eemshaven in the north of Groningen. The installation is also suitable for the storage of gas. The vessel is expected to arrive in Eemshaven in the third quarter of 2022.
With this second floating LNG installation, Gasunie subsidiary EemsEnergyTerminal BV is expanding its new LNG terminal in Eemshaven, making a total of 8 billion cubic metres of natural gas available to the national network after processing the liquefied natural gas (LNG) that is brought in. At the end of April Gasunie contracted the FSRU S188 from the Belgian shipping company Exmar. This installation will also arrive in Eemshaven in the third quarter.
Interest from market players
The recently launched tender for LNG market parties has led to overwhelming interest. More than 15 parties have so far registered their interest in using the terminal to deliver LNG cargoes, and demand is four times higher than supply. These parties now have until 10 June to convert their interest into a binding LNG supply contract. Once the floating facilities from Exmar and NFE are moored in Eemshaven, they will be technically ready, connected to the existing gas network in Eemshaven and then transported to the LNG terminal. Both facilities are expected to be operational this autumn.
Optimalisation
From Eemshaven, Gasunie will continue to ensure the onward transport of gas in the Netherlands via the national gas pipeline network. As well as Eemshaven, the existing GATE terminal on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam will also undergo optimisation to enable more LNG to be realised. Eemshaven and Rotterdam together will then double the LNG capacity in the Netherlands.
New Fortress Energy Inc.
New Fortress Energy Inc. is a global energy infrastructure company established to address energy poverty and accelerate the global transition to reliable, affordable and clean energy. The company owns and operates natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure, vessels and logistics assets to rapidly deliver turnkey energy solutions to global markets.
Important contribution
In mid-March this year, Energy and Climate Minister Jetten announced that the Dutch cabinet was investigating with Gasunie how the import capacity for LNG in the Netherlands could be increased in the short term. Gasunie is thus making a significant contribution towards becoming independent of Russian natural gas.
January 9, 2018 The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) awarded the two Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contracts for ADNOC’s planned offshore ultra-sour gas mega project, which consists of the Hail, Ghasha and Dalma fields . Bechtel (UK) was awarded Hail & Ghasha FEED Contract and TechnipFMC (UAE) was awarded Dalma FEED Contract. In man-hours, the two FEED contracts, collectively, are the largest awarded by an oil and gas company, underpinning the criticality of a detailed FEED phase to optimize project cost and schedule. The project, in the northwest offshore area of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, could meet 20 percent of the UAE’s gas demand by the second half of the next decade. H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and ADNOC Group CEO, said: “The growth in energy demand in Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE, has prompted ADNOC to further harness its gas resources, as part of its 2030 smart growth strategy. This FEED award provides ADNOC with the potential to unlock
SEPTEMBER 23 - 2011 Axens' technologies have been selected by Saudi Aramco for its Jazan Refinery & Terminal Project. The refinery, scheduled to be commissioned in December 2016, will have a capacity of 400,000 BPSD. The units under Axens design are: Naphtha hydrotreating for feedstock purification aromizing ™ – CCR Reforming for aromatics production C5/C6 isomerization unit to provide a high octane component for the gasoline pool ParamaX® complex enabling to produce high purity paraxylene and benzene. These units are designed and integrated to maximize the gasoline production and the aromatics throughput for petrochemical use. The Gas Oil desulfurization hydrotreater (Prime-D™) is also under Axens design. This Prime-D unit – one of the world's largest – will produce ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) with less than 10 ppm of sulfur. The refinery will deliver gasoline and diesel that meet Euro V specifications.
Nov. 22, 2022 New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NFE) (“NFE” or the “Company”) announced today that it has finalized its agreements with Petróleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”), Mexico’s state-owned oil company, to develop and operate an integrated upstream and natural gas liquefaction project off the coast of Veracruz in Southeastern Mexico. The agreements comprise a long-term strategic partnership, expressly supported by His Excellency Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the President of Mexico, to complete the development of the Lakach deepwater natural gas field, one of the largest non-associated gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico. NFE will invest in the continued development of the Lakach field over a two-year period by completing seven offshore wells. In addition, NFE will deploy to the Lakach field its 1.4 MTPA Sevan Driller FLNG unit , which is currently undergoing conversion in a shipyard in Singapore, to liquefy the majority of the produced natural gas. “We are pleased to finalize our strategic
