This project consists of FEED services to construct a new medium-scale LNG plant with an annual LNG production capacity of 1,000,000 tons in Sohar, one of the largest industrial zones in the Middle East, approximately 200 kilometers to the west of Muscat, the capital of The Sultanate of Oman. Growing demand is expected as marine fuel since the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is set to introduce environmental regulation for maritime fuel in 2020.

During bidding process, it was highly evaluated that JGC experienced many LNG plant construction worldwide and delivered proposal making use of the small / medium-scale LNG plant concept, which is promoted under JGC's Medium-Term Business Plan "Beyond the Horizon."

Currently, JGC is executing a total of three LNG plant construction projects, including a large-scale LNG plant in Canada, as well as FLNG (Floating LNG) plants off the coast of Malaysia and off the coast of Mozambique.

Going forward, as the world's foremost LNG contractor, JGC will continue to develop its strong business activities in the field of small / medium-scale LNG plants construction in addition to conventional, large-scale LNG plants.
