Swan LNG Private Ltd (a subsidiary of Swan Energy Ltd) has awarded Black & Veatch the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to deliver the jetty topside and onshore LNG facilities for the 5 million metric tpy plant at Jafrabad in Gujarat. The new FSRU will be moored to a fixed jetty and regasify imported LNG to enable distribution by pipeline and road tanker. The facility is projected to go on-stream by early-2020.
Rajiv Menon, Managing Director, Black & Veatch India said: “The Indian government aims to significantly increase LNG import capacity by 2022. This project is a major step in this direction."
"The Jafrabad project, along with the Indian Oil Corp.'s LNG receiving terminal project at Ennore, signifies the trust placed by the industry in Black & Veatch to deliver LNG projects,” Menon added.
