The agreement provides for a license to utilize ConocoPhillips’s Optimized CascadeSM process in the development of Angola LNG Limited’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility, which will be the first gas liquefaction facility to be built in Angola. The facility will be located near Soyo in the Zaire Province.
The facility is expected to have a nominal LNG capacity of 5.2 million tonnes per year, and include storage for LNG, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate, and a loading jetty sized to accommodate ships up to 210,000 cubic meters. The plant will be constructed by a subsidiary of the engineering and construction major Bechtel.
Jim Rockwell, LNG technology and licensing manager of ConocoPhillips, said: This project is a milestone achievement in ConocoPhillips’s LNG licensing efforts. The design demonstrates the flexibility of the ConocoPhillips Optimized Cascade process to utilize GE Frame-6 and Frame-7 drivers in a unique way that delivers cost improvements while still maintaining the operating advantages of the two-trains-in-one reliability.
