The contract went to a consortium of Japan's JGC Corporation and South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries.
The 1.5 million tonnes per annum project - Petronas FLNG 2 (PFLNG 2) - will be the second Petronas FLNG project to reach FID. The first, PFLNG 1, has been under construction since June last year at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) shipyard at Okpo, on South Korea's Geoje Island.
Gas for PFLNG 2 will come from fields in Block H offshore Sabah, which is operated by Murphy Oil. The project will be a phased development, centred around the Rotan field and three satellite fields: Alum, Bemban and Buluh.
ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation is supplying ProRox WM 960 SW insulation for the topsides vessels.
