The development project includes subsea gas production, a floating gas treatment facility, a pipeline with domestic gas connection points and a nearshore hub facility, which will be used to convert procured gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Providing breakwater-protected berths for a floating LNG production facility, the hub will enable the company to export LNG to international markets by ship.

CH2M vice-president and practice director Dr Colin Skipper said: “CH2M has a strong civil and marine works portfolio for global energy producers, and we are pleased to perform a critical role working with KBR on this technically challenging project for BP.”

“The Tortue field is estimated to contain more than 15 trillion cubic feet of discovered gas resources.”

The company’s preliminary front-end engineering design (Pre-FEED) deliverables include deciding the location of the hub, layout and the form and method of construction of the inshore hub.
