Nexans has been awarded a contract worth approximately Eur 10 million to supply medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) power cables and instrumentation cables for the Yemen LNG terminal project.
Nexans has been awarded a contract worth approximately Eur 10 million to supply medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) power cables and instrumentation cables for the Yemen LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) terminal project.
This project is being commissioned on behalf of Yemen LNG (YLNG) by Yemgas FZCO.
Yemgas is a joint venture between energy construction and engineering group Technip, JGC (Japan Gas Corporation) and American company KbyteyteR.
Nexans will be the sole cable supplier for the Yemen LNG terminal project, and will provide approximately 1100km of medium voltage and low voltage power, instrumentation and fibre optic cables armoured with steel tapes.
These cables will be used to carry power, data and telecommunications throughout the terminal.
They will also be used in control and instrumentation applications.
"The Middle East region is a fast growing area where many projects have been constructed in the past few years".
"The petrochemical industry has a huge need for equipment and Nexans is very proud to be part of it, providing high-quality, reliable solutions for such complex oil and gas projects".
"This contract underlines the close co-operation between Nexans and major engineering companies such as Technip", said Bruno Thomas, Nexans' Executive Vice-President for the Middle-East and other regions, including South America, Africa and Russia.
The new plant will be located at the Arabian Gulf port of Balhaf on the southern coast of Yemen, approximately 140km west of the port city of Al Mukalla and 380km east of Aden.
It will consist of two LNG liquefaction trains and will be capable of delivering a total of 6.7 million tonnes of LNG per annum.
The cables will be manufactured by Nexans plants in Belgium and France, and installation is scheduled for completion by mid 2007.
The LNG terminal should be ready for the end of 2008.
