Once complete, the Ruwais LNG project will be the first net zero LNG facility in the Middle East. TJN Ruwais JV is a joint venture between Technip Energies France-Abu Dhabi, JGC Corp. and NMDC Energy.
Under the contract, CB&I will deliver two 180 000 m3 full containment concrete LNG tanks, including all piping and civil infrastructure. Project delivery will be led from CB&I's UAE office for tank construction, Plainfield, Ill., US office for engineering, and CB&I's Saudi Arabia and Thailand offices will provide fabrication and modularisation support, respectively.
"CB&I's commitment to the Gulf region for delivery of world-class LNG storage began in 1981 and is shown with this latest project award," said Mark Butts, CEO of CB&I. "Our ability to offer execution certainty by utilising the global reach uniquely available to CB&I for project delivery, coupled with a balance of cost and quality, allow CB&I to provide the best value product in the market. It also provides us with another opportunity to contribute to the energy transition market."
CB&I's construction activities are expected to commence in November 2025 with project completion targeted in early 2028.
