The Chinese company Wison New Energies has started design and pre-FEED work on two floating LNG (FLNG) production projects in Nigeria totalling 6 Mt/year. Wison was awarded the FLNG design and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the two projects owned by Nigerian companies Ace Gas and FLNG and Transoceanic Gas & Power.
Transoceanic’s FLNG project is located offshore Pennington and close to a block operated by the company on behalf of Cleanwaters consortium. It is designed to supply 3 Mt/year LNG to the international market, and 150 kt/year of LPG to the domestic market. As part of the phased development plan, the project will deploy a floating power barge concept, starting with a Phase 1 Power capacity of 250 MW. The Ace Gas FLNG project is located offshore Escravos and is also designed to supply 3 Mt/year of LNG to the international market, and 150 kt/year of LPG to the domestic market.
In December 2023, Wison also entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for the development of another floating LNG project in Nigeria targeting the international LNG market.
