Wison New Energies secures FEED job for Nigerian FLNG

China’s Wison New Energies has signed a FEED contract with Ace Gas for the 3 mtpa FLNG and 230MW power barge project, set to be deployed in Nigeria.

This follows Wison New Energies completing pre-FEED work for the project in early 2024. The project aims to develop a 3 mtpa FLNG moored some 10 km offshore in waters with a depth of about 20 m, receiving and processing up to 500m standard cubic feet of gas daily.

In addition, a stream of natural gas will be delivered from the FLNG to the 230MW power barge for power generation and for the supply of electricity to Ace Gas-operated gas assets and gas processing facilities within the Escravos and Forcados hub.

The feedstock for the project will be sourced from multiple fields located within a minimum of four blocks in the swamp and shallow water regions close to the OML 109 license. According to Ace Gas, the investment for this project is expected to exceed $1bn.

The developer has ensured 7 tcf of gas supply for Phase 1 and 2 of the project with a possibility for expansion.
