NLNG onshore/offshore project
01

Scenario

The project involved the expansion of an existing NLNG infrastructure located on Bonny Island, through a significant operational upgrade of both onshore and offshore facilities, along with the extension of onshore facilities dedicated to the new plant's operational staff. The initiative aimed to increase production capacity and generate added value by expanding the NLNG complex with a new train and a new common liquefaction unit, designed to collect excess treated gas from existing trains and convert it into LNG. The project also included the construction of a new export jetty and a new berth, including related loading infrastructure and ship vapor recovery systems. The existing power plant and main support systems—such as demineralized water, instrument air, inert gas, drainage, and fire-fighting systems—were expanded, in addition to debottlenecking the current flare systems and installing new flare systems for the CT/CLU.
