PENTRONAS New LNG Train in Malaysia Sets Up Engineers Contest


For an engineer’s contest, doesn’t the client pay for submission of the bid?

Dateline 2012-02-23:

Petroliam Nasional Bhd. is asking engineers to compete for a contract to build a new liquefied natural gas train in Malaysia.

JGC Corp. will compete for the project against a joint partnership of Chiyoda Corp. and Saipem SpA, Malaysia’s state oil company said today in an e-mailed statement. Petrona plans to build a ninth train at its LNG complex in Bintulu, Sarawak, increasing output capacity by 3.6 million tons a year, it said. The project is scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The new train will require as much as 850 million standard cubic feet a day of natural gas coming from offshore fields near Sarawak, the company said.
