This project at Ras Laffan Industrial City in Qatar will minimize LNG boil-off gas flaring at LNG berths by making productive use of the gas that boils off during loading of LNG carriers at the Ras Laffan Port, the company said.
Qatargas has awarded the contract on behalf of the owners of the Jetty Boil-Off Gas Recovery Project: the four Qatargas and three RasGas companies that individually own one or more of the existing 14 LNG trains at Ras Laffan.
The detailed design and procurement services will be carried out at Fluor’s offices in Sugar Land, Texas, US. Fluor will also have a team working in Ras Laffan to support the construction, commissioning and start-up phases of the project.
The project design is based on collection of the LNG boil-off gas from the LNG carriers and transfer of this gas to a central compression area via large diameter stainless steel pipelines. At the central compression area, the gas will be compressed and sent to the LNG trains primarily for use as fuel gas.
The planned completion date for this project is at the end of 2013 or early 2014.
