Foster Wheeler AG has been awarded a contract to carry out pre-front-end engineering design (pre-FEED) for the development of an onshore LNG plant and offshore gas gathering pipelines and infrastructure on the southern coastline of Cameroon.
The Cameroon LNG Project, jointly owned by GDF Suez and Cameroon's SNH, involves a single-train onshore LNG plant with a production capacity of up to 3.5 million tonnes per annum. The project also includes an upstream gas gathering system and subsea pipeline tie-ins to offshore production facilities.
Foster Wheeler will develop the preliminary design basis for the liquefaction facility, gas gathering and treatment facilities and export facilities.
The pre-FEED is scheduled to be completed in early 2011.
