First stretch of pipelines

31 July 2011 - New contracts - Papua New Guinea

On 25 May 2011, as part of the LNG PNG project in Papua New Guinea, teams from Spiecapag, a subsidiary of Entrepose Contracting (VINCI Construction), laid the first 400 metres of land-based pipelines, of the 450 km they are charged with installing. Awarded in December 2009 by Esso Highlands Ltd, an Exxon Mobil Corporation subsidiary, the contract covers the engineering, supply of equipment, and construction and installation of the infrastructure.

Reminder: in addition to installing land-based and undersea pipelines, the project calls for the construction of liquefaction plants with a production capacity of 6.6 million tonnes per year.
Representing a major source of supply, notably for countries in the Asia-Pacific region, this project aims to meet a strongly growing world demand for natural gas.
