Van Oord wins major contract for LNG project in Mozambique

Van Oord, in consortium with TechnipFMC, has been awarded a contract by Anadarko Moçambique Área 1, Lda, a wholly owned subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, for the Area 1 Golfinho/Atum LNG development project in Mozambique. This is an EPCI contract, which involves the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of the subsea offshore systems1. Van Oord is performing the shallow water work, while consortium partner TechnipFMC is responsible for the deeper water work.

Maurits den Broeder, Managing Director of Van Oord Offshore said, "We are proud to be part of this prestigious project and look forward to working with TechnipFMC to develop this important energy infrastructure for Anadarko and allowing Mozambique to unlock its natural energy resources.

The Anadarko-led Area 1 Mozambique LNG project will be the country's first onshore LNG facility, which will initially consist of two LNG

plants with a capacity of 12.88 Mtpa to support the development of the Golfinho/Atum fields located within the entire Offshore Area 1 area.

The next few months are devoted to project preparation. The work is subject to stringent environmental and surrounding area requirements. Van Oord considers it particularly important to take every opportunity to limit and control the impact on the surroundings, and to promote positive environmental and social benefits. Implementation will begin in 2021.

(1) The total contract value for the TechnipFMC and Van Oord consortium is more than $1 billion.
