Bechtel wins Feed work for Vietnam CCGT
Singapore-based Delta Offshore Energy has awarded Bechtel a contract to provide front end engineering design (Feed) services for the 3.2 GW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant in the Bac Lieu province in Vietnam, Bechtel said on July 6.
“Bac Lieu is ready for development, and the authorities there have shown their willingness to adopt progressive technologies. We saw this when they chose to install the region’s first offshore wind farm. With our LNG-to-power project, it will shine as the gateway for change in the Mekong Delta,” said Ian Nguyen, co-founder and managing director of Delta Offshore Energy.

The Bac Lieu LNG facility is expected to start up in 2024 and will supply gas to the power plant. Delta awarded a contract to US engineering firm McDermott International in late August for the Feed of a 35-km pipeline to carry gas from the LNG terminal to the plant. Stena Power & LNG Solutions will also license its transfer and regasification technology for the terminal.
“This power plant is a game changer for the Bac Lieu province,” said Scott Osborne, Bechtel’s general manager, infrastructure, Asia Pacific. “We want to make a difference in supporting Mekong Delta and Vietnam by creating jobs and training, working with local businesses, and providing new opportunities for those in the region.”
