Tanks and Terminals,
The tender was awarded to the Consortium by Aqaba Development Corp. (ADC), the state-owned infrastructure company and the customer for the facility.
The project's scope encompasses full engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) of a 720 million ft 3/d onshore LNG regasification facility, marine works, jetty topside work and other associated components and shall be completed, commissioned and delivered within 22 months.
Widely regarded as the most significant energy project in Jordan, the terminal shall play a crucial role in enhancing the national economy, trade, and services environment while bolstering Jordan's energy security.
Jordan relies heavily on natural gas for its power and industrial needs but faces challenges with supply reliability. The new LNG terminal will provide Jordan with the flexibility to access LNG from various global suppliers, ensuring a stable and secure energy source.
GAS Entec and AG&P were selected from a competitive pool of companies based on their robust credentials and a cost-effective solution leveraging GAS Entec's technology of modularising and fabricating key regasification components in Korea and transporting them to project sites world-wide.
This prestigious award marks a significant milestone for GAS Entec and AG&P and underscores their global standing in the LNG industry.
Chong Ho Kwak, CEO, GAS Entec said, "This project is a testament to our commitment towards delivering innovative and efficient solutions in the LNG sector and adds to our already esteemed list of credentials."
Nishant Sharma, Commercial Head of GAS Entec and Senior Vice President, AG&P said: "We are honoured to have been chosen for this critical project, which shall significantly contribute to Jordan's energy security and its economic development. The trust ADC has placed in GAS Entec and AG&P underscores our dedication towards customer-centric solutions and our ability to deliver cost-effective, world-class LNG infrastructure."
Omar Albadour, Head of Energy Unit, ADC said, "We are privileged to have reputed LNG Infrastructure partners like GAS Entec and AG&P to deliver this strategic project, which shall be a milestone in our country's continued transition towards reliable energy. We look forward to the project's commissioning by Q226."
The Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah onshore regasification LNG Terminal Project will enhance GAS Entec and AG&P's already esteemed profile as leading LNG terminal developers. This award complements their extensive portfolio, including LNG terminals in Indonesia and the Philippines, four FSRU conversions globally, two LNG FSU carrier conversions, and three LNG bunkering ships in North America, Japan, and Singapore respectively.
