Black & Veatch´s Technology in FLNG will be used for BP´s field development in West Africa

KUALA LUMPUR, May 2 (Bernama) -- Black & Veatch´s PRICO technology is to play a major role in floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) technology for BP´s field development work in Greater Tortue/Ahmeyin located offshore of Mauritania and Senegal in West Africa.

Black & Veatch is collaborating with Keppel Shipyard Limited (Keppel Shipyard) to convert a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier, the Gimi, into a floating liquefaction facility. The project includes the partnership between Keppel Shipyard and Golar LNG (Golar), a statement said.

Black & Veatch will provide its licensed PRICO liquefaction technology and global engineering and procurement capabilities while Keppel Shipyard provides the marine systems and all of the conversion-related construction services.

"This partnership with Golar and Keppel is a direct reflection of the industry experience, leadership and value that Black & Veatch brings to complex offshore conversion projects," said Black & Veatch senior vice-president and managing director of Floating Oil & Gas Solutions, Bob Germinder.

"Black & Veatch's PRICO technology continues to allow us to provide competitive liquefaction solutions to our clients who are looking to develop and monetize their natural gas assets," said Golar chief executive officer, Iain Ross.

FLNG solutions is a cost-effective and faster-delivering alternative to traditional onshore facilities, which is crucial in natural gas' current low-price environment, the statement said.

Black & Veatch is an employee-owned, global leader in building critical human infrastructure in energy, water, telecommunications and government services. More information at www.bv.com.
