Shell has awarded China’s Offshore Oil Engineering Company (COOEC) a key contract to provide a platform jacket and topsides for a shallow-water gas and condensate project offshore Nigeria.
The HI project in Nigeria’s Offshore Mining Licence (OML) 144 aims to deliver up to 500 million cubic feet of gas per day to the Nigeria LNG project’s proposed Train 7 and export approximately 70,000 barrels per day of condensate at peak production.
According to multiple sources close to the project, Shell finalised talks for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) role with the Tianjin-based contractor in recent weeks following a series of yard inspections.
