Technical Description
The two-train LNG plant will have capacity of 6.3 million tonne of LNG per annum. In addition to the gas from the Hides field, potentially gas could be sourced also from the Juha and Angore fields. The pre-FEED study was completed by the end of 2007. The decision to proceed with the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) will be made at the end of March or early April 2008. The FEED most likely would be prepared by KBR. The final investment decisions should be made in 2009. The plant is expected to be commissioned by 2013 and it is expected to cost US$9.5 billion, of which the development of the Hides, Juha and Angore gas fields together with a pipeline to the coast may cost US$5 billion, while the LNG plant could cost US$4.5 billion.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or description:
“Where there is the necessary technical skill to move mountains, there is no need for the faith that moves mountains.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
