Ophir Energy has awarded Upstream Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) contracts to two consortia, McDermott Marine Construction - GE Oil & Gas UK on the one hand and Subsea 7 - Aker Solutions on the other hand, for its proposed Fortuna FLNG Project in Block R in Equatorial Guinea. The Upstream FEED will be a competitive process with the scope of work including subsea development design that will enable the two competing FEED consortia to submit their EPCIC (Engineer, Procure, Construct, Install & Commission) tenders at the end of the process, from which one will be selected for the FID. The FEED process will be completed by late March 2016, which will allow a Final Investment Decision (FID) to be made in mid-2016 with first gas expected in mid-2019. Golar LNG will build, own and operate the Gimi Floating LNG vessel, which will have a liquefaction capacity of 2.2 Mt/year. It will tap gas resources from the Fortuna field (about 800 bcf of gas, i.e. 23 bcm).
