In related news, Inpex, as the operator of the field, settled a dispute with JKC Australia last month regarding amounts payable under the EPC contract between them. The field is estimated to contain more than 12 trillion cubic feet of gas and 500 million barrels of condensate. The Ichthys LNG Project is a joint venture between INPEX (76, the operator) and TOTAL (24). The field covers an area of nearly 200,000 acres in water depths averaging around 820 feet. JKC signed a contract with INPEX earlier this year for the engineering, procurement and construction of the onshore LNG facilities, to be built near Darwin in Australia. An SPA was also signed in December 2011 between the project owners and a consortium of five Japanese utility companies for the sale of 4mtpa of LNG. Fabrication will be completed at McDermott’s yard in Batam.Īs for Ichthys, it is located about 135 miles offshore Western Australia and 510 miles southwest of Darwin. The work will be executed from McDermott’s Engineering Centers of Excellence in Perth, Kuala Lumpur, and Chennai. We’ve been there since 2012, and we are very familiar with the Ichthys gas field,” Mahesh Swaminathan, McDermott’s SVP for Asia Pacific, said. JKC is our EPC contractor and is responsible for the construction of the onshore facilities at Blaydin Point. “Ichthys LNG is ranked among the most significant and complex energy developments in the world. Ichthys LNG project onshore facilities are being constructed at Blaydin Point in Darwin and are approximately 75 complete at this stage. Darwin has one of the highest lightning activities in Australia, LPI was engaged to deal with all aspects of lightning risk and mitigation. The company is currently undertaking umbilicals, risers, and flowlines as part of an expansion of the existing offshore facilities. Australia Ichthys LNG Plant (JKC / Inpex) Petrochemical. McDermott said that its EPC scope involved a booster compression module that will extend the production from the gas reservoir to the central processing facility. Located at Bladin Point in Darwin, the LNG processing plant will process gas from the Ichthys offshore reserves in the Timor Sea with two LNG trains with a capacity of 8.4 million tonnes per annum. This is the third contract McDermott has been awarded for the project after successfully completing FEED services and converting contracts to EPCI. JKC (JV Chiyoda/KBR), global consulting engineers, are the main EPCM for the design and construction of the Ichthys LNG processing facilities for INPEX.
The module will become a part of the Ichthys Explorer central processing platform located off the northwest coast of Western Australia. To remind, McDermott won the FEED contract for the module in November of last year. offshore engineering and construction services firm McDermott has won an EPC project after completing FEED services for a booster compression module for Inpex’s Ichthys LNG development.
