Siemens was announced as the compressor equipment provider for PAO NOVATEK’s Arctic LNG 2 project. The compressors will be part of three liquefaction trains for the project.
The contract specifies the supply of three feed gas compressors and six boil-off gas compressors. The scope also includes means to produce the equipment for the third train locally in Russia. The agreement to have local equipment fabrication closely aligns with NOVATEK’s desire to build LNG competencies in Russia.
NOVATEK’s First Deputy Chairman of the Management Board stated, “The supply contract envisages new prospects for localizing the compressor equipment fabrication for the LNG industry, which is consistent with our strategic aim of creating and developing an LNG Center of Excellence in Russia.”
Siemens and NOVATEK successfully worked together on the Yamal LNG plant and expect to use new technologies on Arctic LNG 2.
