The EPFC contract is an important step in advancing detailed&#13;<br \/>\nengineering and construction scheduling work in advance of Woodfibre LNG&#13;<br \/>\nissuing a notice to proceed. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Responsibly produced natural gas is a&#13;<br \/>\nnecessary part of making a successful global transition from heavy-emitting&#13;<br \/>\nfuels to renewables. By harnessing the low-carbon gas resources of British&#13;<br \/>\nColumbia&#8217;s Montney region to replace coal-fired energy sources in Asia,&#13;<br \/>\nWoodfibre LNG will reduce global emissions by 3.5 million tonnes CO2e per&#13;<br \/>\nannum, equivalent to removing 5 per cent of B.C.&#8217;s annual emissions from the&#13;<br \/>\natmosphere each year. McDermott and Woodfibre&#8217;s collaboration on front-end&#13;<br \/>\nengineering and facility design, relative to typical LNG facilities, will&#13;<br \/>\nresult in an ~86 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions per tonne of&#13;<br \/>\nLNG produced. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Woodfibre LNG, a subsidiary of Pacific&#13;<br \/>\nEnergy Corporation (Canada) Limited which is a member of the&#13;<br \/>\nSingapore-headquartered RGE group of resources-based companies founded by&#13;<br \/>\nSukanto Tanoto, will be the cleanest liquefied natural gas export facility on&#13;<br \/>\nearth, achieved through the adoption of a low-emission philosophy across every&#13;<br \/>\nelement of engineering and design. The facility will use hydroelectricity for&#13;<br \/>\nthe main liquefaction process, and includes state of the art technology that&#13;<br \/>\nenables liquefaction machinery to restart without flaring, a recycling system&#13;<br \/>\nfor &#8220;boil-off&#8221; gas, and additional transformers, switchgear and transmission&#13;<br \/>\nlines. Altogether, this results in the most groundbreaking technical&#13;<br \/>\nachievement in the world of LNG, and sets a new standard for efficient plant&#13;<br \/>\ndesign. This next-generation LNG production is in high demand. Woodfibre LNG&#13;<br \/>\nhas two offtake agreements signed with BP, meaning over 70 per cent of&#13;<br \/>\nWoodfibre&#8217;s annual throughput has already been sold.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McDermott&#8217;s industry-leading NetZero&#13;<br \/>\nModular LNG strategy has been fully utilized during the development of this&#13;<br \/>\nadvanced onshore gas processing and liquefaction facility with floating storage&#13;<br \/>\nnear Squamish, British Columbia, Canada. The strategy provides multiple&#13;<br \/>\npathways through design, execution and construction to reduce operational and&#13;<br \/>\nproject emissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our contract with McDermott is a&#13;<br \/>\npositive step forward for this substantial piece of clean energy&#13;<br \/>\ninfrastructure,&#8221; said Christine Kennedy, president of Woodfibre LNG. &#8220;Together,&#13;<br \/>\nwe will be building the lowest-emission, most sustainable and innovative LNG export&#13;<br \/>\nfacility in the world. A particular point of pride for us is that the Squamish&#13;<br \/>\nNation serves as a full environmental regulator for this project. Serving as a&#13;<br \/>\nunique example of economic Reconciliation, this is the first arrangement of its&#13;<br \/>\ntype for an LNG facility.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McDermott will manage onshore&#13;<br \/>\nconstruction, leveraging Canadian-based contractors and commitments included in&#13;<br \/>\nWoodfibre LNG&#8217;s Impact Benefit Agreements with the S\u1e35wx\u0331w\u00fa7mesh \u00daxwumixw&#13;<br \/>\n(Squamish Nation). It is estimated that 650 people will be working on the&#13;<br \/>\nWoodfibre LNG site at peak construction. The EPFC contract commits McDermott to&#13;<br \/>\nWoodfibre LNG&#8217;s hiring priority for qualified Squamish Nation members and local&#13;<br \/>\nworkers first, followed by British Columbians and then Canadians. The joint&#13;<br \/>\npriority is to create a safe, inclusive and respectful workplace that brings&#13;<br \/>\nbenefits to the project&#8217;s Indigenous partners and community.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is another example of how we are&#13;<br \/>\napplying our unique integrated capabilities to solve challenges and create&#13;<br \/>\nsuccesses for our customers,&#8221; said Samik Mukherjee, Executive Vice President&#13;<br \/>\nand Chief Operating Officer of McDermott. &#8220;This award is a tremendous&#13;<br \/>\nopportunity to further demonstrate how our LNG and modularization expertise&#13;<br \/>\nenables a new generation of sustainable energy solutions.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the EPFC work, McDermott&#13;<br \/>\nwill also be responsible for commissioning and start-up services Pre-installation&#13;<br \/>\nwork for the project is planned for early 2022 and will gradually ramp up to&#13;<br \/>\nSeptember 2023, when major construction is targeted to begin. Major works will&#13;<br \/>\ncontinue through to substantial completion, expected in Q3 2027. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2021-11-26\/106928\/woodfibre-lng-awards-epfc-contract-to-mcdermott\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE &#8211; Media OutReach &#8211; 26 November 2021 &#8211; Woodfibre LNG has signed an Engineering,&#13; Procurement, Fabrication, and Construction (EPFC) contract with McDermott&#13; International.
