The company has now announced it has entered into new agreements for FEED work with SHI and Black & Veatch. Delfin and its partners are on-track for completion of the engineering work, including a fully termed LSTK EPCIC by the middle of 2020, for the Delfin LNG project.
Commenting on the company’s progress Dudley Poston, CEO of Delfin said: “Having completed permitting work with a positive record of decision from the maritime administration and a 13 million tpy non-FTA DoE export licence, Delfin’s successful technical cooperation with two leaders in floating liquefaction, SHI and Black & Veatch, make the Delfin project one of the most advanced projects in the second wave.”
Wouter Pastoor, COO of Delfin, added: “We are very pleased to advance the collaboration with SHI and Black & Veatch. Both companies have been pioneering the FLNG space and have been involved in the vast majority of global FLNG projects. Since the Delfin FLNG Vessels are not producing from a reservoir, but purely liquefy standard ‘pipeline quality gas’, these FLNG Vessels lend themselves for low-cost and standardised solutions. Working with SHI and Black & Veatch, collaboratively offering a complete EPCIC wrap, enhances the robustness of our projects and marks another important step forward in the LNG industry.”
“Black & Veatch is excited to build on the work with SHI in support of Delfin’s leading edge efforts in the global LNG and FLNG space,” said Jim Schnieders, Black & Veatch’s Executive Vice President and Managing Director, Floating Oil & Gas Solutions and Oil & Gas - Asia. “With the proven onshore and offshore performance of Black & Veatch’s patented liquefaction technology, PRICO®, combined with SHI’s extensive history of shipbuilding and recent FLNG experience, the combined experience of the two companies in the floating liquefaction industry provides a unique integrated EPCIC solution that aligns well with Delfin’s innovative approach to the market.”
