Sharjah-based engineering firm Technomak has been awarded a major contract to deliver turnkey services for the high-profile Cap Lopez Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) project in Gabon, West Africa. The landmark project is valued at approximately $1 billion and is led by Perenco, a well-established oil and gas company with a growing presence in the LNG sector.
Perenco’s fully owned subsidiary, Dixstone, is managing the overall development of the FLNG facility, which involves converting a floating storage and offloading (FSO) vessel into a fully integrated liquefaction plant. Once completed, the facility will have the capacity to produce up to 700,000 tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and 25,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) per year.
Technomak has been entrusted with the engineering, procurement, construction (EPC), commissioning, and integration scope of the project. The company will play a crucial role in delivering the FLNG vessel, ensuring all systems are developed and integrated according to international standards.
This win marks a significant milestone for Technomak, further cementing the UAE’s position as a key player in the global oil and gas infrastructure sector. The Cap Lopez FLNG project also represents a strategic development for Gabon, aimed at monetizing its offshore gas reserves and expanding its role in the global LNG supply chain.
With first production expected in the coming years, this project underscores the growing trend toward modular, floating LNG solutions that offer faster deployment and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional onshore facilities.
