Golar issues full NTP for MK II FLNG project

Global floating LNG (FLNG) infrastructure provider Black & Veatch (B&V) said September 30 it had been issued a full notice to proceed (NTP) on the Golar MK II FLNG project.

B&V, working as a sub-contractor to CIMC Raffles on Golar MK II, will provide its licensed PRICO^® liquefaction technology, perform detailed engineering design, specify and procure topside equipment and provide commissioning support for the FLNG topsides and liquefaction process.

The modules will be constructed and installed by CIMC Raffles, based in Shandong Province, China, on the converted Golar LNG carrier Fuji LNG. B&V performed similar work on the construction of Hilli and Gimi, Golar’s other FLNG vessels.

“This is another significant energy infrastructure project for Black & Veatch, and we’re pleased to be working with CIMC and Golar on the MK II, following our support for Golar’s two previous floating LNG vessels,” said Black & Veatch’s Fuels & Natural Resources sector president Laszlo von Lazar. “The MK II will enable additional, flexible sources of affordable LNG to be processed to support the global need for energy security and resiliency.”

The MK II FLNG vessel will have the capacity to produce 3.5mn tonnes/year of LNG, and is expected to be delivered in Q4 2027.
