PT Saipem Indonesia and PT JGC Indonesia will conduct the FLNG FEED in parallel under a design competition, Inpex said.
"In order to keep the project schedule and to ensure consistency of engineering technology applied, it is intended that one of the groups will continue into the FLNG EPC phase," Inpex said of the competition. "Therefore, it is envisioned that the FLNG EPC contract will be awarded to the group that provides technical and commercial superiority based on its overall design solution for the FLNG facility."
