LNG Industry,


Höegh LNG Holdings Ltd. has entered into an agreement with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. (DSME) to initiate a project specific FEED of an LNG FPSO solution for the Tamar gas field offshore Israel.  

This agreement follows the recent announcement of the agreement between DSME consortium, DSME and its Norwegian joint venture D&H Solutions AS and Tamar field owners, Noble Energy, Delek and Isramco to exploit part of the Tamar field by use of an LNG FPSO.  

The agreement states that Höegh LNG with selected partners shall be the owner and operator of the LNG FPSO and that DSME shall be the EPCIC contractor, subject to further engineering work and a final investment decision. 

President and CEO, Sveinung Støhle, says:  "We are excited about initiating the engineering work for an LNG FPSO to monetize the gas reserves in the Tamar field in Israel based on Höegh LNG's already developed design.  

This is a result of Höegh LNG's continuous effort over the past five years to promote technical and economical sound floating solutions for LNG production.  We are pleased to work with DSME and the Tamar field owners in jointly developing one of the first LNG FPSOs to come to market.  DSME has been our partner for several years and we are confident that together with the other Tamar partners we will design, construct and operate an excellent solution for bringing the Tamar gas to the market."
