The project will set up a national gas transportation network linking Cameroon’s offshore gas resources with the state-sanctioned onshore site near Kribi on the southern coastline of Cameroon.

Foster Wheeler is working with GDF Suez and GDF Suez’s partner, Cameroon’s Societe Nationale des Hydrocarbures (SNH).

The Cameroon LNG project comprises of a single-train onshore LNG plant with a production capacity of up to 3.5 million tons per annum. The project also includes an upstream gas gathering system and subsea pipeline tie-ins to offshore production facilities.

In carrying out the pre-FEED for the entire mid-stream project, the company will develop the preliminary design basis for the liquefaction facility, gas gathering and treatment facilities and LNG export facilities, and will prepare capital cost estimates and other documentation. The pre-FEED is scheduled to be completed in early 2011.
