| Further expansion for UK LNG terminals |  |
| Isle of Grain LNG Terminal in Kent | |
Further expansion of LNG terminals in both
England and Wales has been announced this week, which will require the
construction of a further five LNG storage tanks.
National Grid Transco is to spend £355
million to triple the capacity of Isle of Grain Liquefied Natural Gas
importation terminal
in Kent.
This second phase of development will
increase the facility's capacity to import and process LNG from 3.3-mil
mt per year to
9.8-mil mt/yr, representing around 12% of the UKs annual gas demand. CB&I
John Brown has been awarded the EPC contract
to build three new LNG storage tanks and associated works. The project
is scheduled to be completed in mid-2008.
CB&I John Brown has also won a US$325 million EPC contract for Phase II of the South Hook LNG Terminal near Milford Haven, Wales
Phase II includes, doubling the facility's regasification
and sendout capacity, refurbishment of a second loading berth on the
existing jetty, two additional 155,000 cubic meter full containment LNG
storage tanks, and expansion of the associated facilities.
The second phase will be concurrent with Phase I, with construction beginning
in mid-2005. The project is being executed through
the CB&I John Brown office in London.
As previously announced in November 2004, CB&I's
scope for Phase I of the project -- which is valued between US$725 - $750
million -- includes a ship unloading system, three full containment 155,000
cubic meter LNG storage tanks, and a regasification
and sendout system. Marine works include major refurbishment of an existing
jetty to allow berthing of LNG tankers. Completion
of Phase I is expected in late 2007.
