Rosneft and ExxonMobil have selected CB&I UK and Foster Wheeler Energy as contractors for initial phase front end engineering and design (FEED) for a proposed Russian Far East LNG project in Sakhalin. Rosneft and ExxonMobil intend to finalize project design by the end of 2014, including front-end engineering and design documentation for the LNG plant, associated facilities and gas pipeline, as well as engineering studies and environmental impact assessment. Following submission by the companies of their respective concepts and design, Rosneft and ExxonMobil will evaluate the companies' work product and award a contract for the second phase of FEED. The plant design capacity of the project is expected to be 5 Mt/year and may be expanded in the future. The liquefaction plant will receive natural gas feedstock from Rosneft’s reserves in the Far East and Sakhalin gas reserves. It could be commissioned in 2018-2019.
