Japan’s JGC Corp., in consortium with JGC Malaysia, has been awarded a $510 million engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract by Petronas LNG 9 Sdn. Bhd. to expand a liquefied natural gas (LNG) complex in Malaysia.

Petronas LNG 9 Sdn. Bhd. is a wholly-owned unit of Petronas, Malaysia’s oil and gas company.

The EPCC contract covers work associated with expanding LNG storage and shipping facilities at the facility, which ranks as one of the largest LNG production facilities in the world. The facility has eight production trains with a combined capacity of 25.7 million tons per year, and is working on its ninth train.

The contract calls for EPCC work associated with construction of the piping and associated facilities connecting six existing LNG storage tanks and a seventh new LNG storage tank with the shipping facilities. Scope of work includes the piping that connects the LNG rundown lines from the existing LNG trains to the ninth LNG train currently under construction.
