Singapore LNG Corporation (SLNG) has begun construction of the onshore connection infrastructure for the second LNG terminal in Singapore, a strategic project aimed at strengthening the country’s energy supply.
In a ceremony held at Jurong Port, SLNG marked the start of work on the so-called onshore connection infrastructure (OCI). This component will be essential for the operation of the new liquefied natural gas terminal.
Likewise, the development includes the integration of systems that will allow the reception, processing, and distribution of gas into the national network.
FSRU, processes, and gas network in the new LNG terminal
The project scope includes a main process area, a jetty for a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), and a network of pipelines responsible for transporting the regasified gas.
Thus, the FSRU-based terminal will allow the import of LNG and its transformation into natural gas suitable for direct injection into the national grid, strengthening the country’s midstream infrastructure.
On the other hand, the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) contract has been awarded to China Communications Construction Co., Ltd. (Singapore).
The new infrastructure will increase LNG import and regasification capacity, aligning with the growing demand for natural gas in the region.
