SaRen, a 50-50 JV between Rönesans’ industrial division Renaissance Heavy Industries (RHI) and Saipem, was contracted in 2018 for manufacturing, transport, and assembly works for the three components of the Gravity Base Structure (GBS) of the Arctic LNG 2 terminal project.

In 2019, Saipem joined a JV of Technip and NIPIgaspererabotka to provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for the Arctic LNG 2 project.

The scope of the contract covers the detailed design, procurement, fabrication, construction, commissioning and start-up of three LNG trains at the Arctic LNG 2 project.

Last month, Technip said it was considering exiting from the Arctic LNG 2 project in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Prior to the Ukraine conflict, the Arctic LNG 2 project was scheduled for launch in 2023 and to reach full production capacity by 2026.

In June 2022, Novatek CEO Leonid Mikhelson said the company plans to start the project’s first /line in 2023.
