Contract let for Dominican Republic terminal

Complejo GNL del Este, a consortium of Dominican and Colombian energy companies, has awarded a contract for an LNG terminal and jetty in San Pedro de Marcoris in the Dominican Republic to a subsidiary of Foster Wheeler AG’s global engineering and construction group.

No contract value was given for the basic design and front-end engineering contract, whose work is to be completed in September.

Foster Wheeler’s announcement said it had previously completed a feasibility study for selection of the most suitable technology for the terminal, which will have a sendout capacity of 240 MMscfd with an LNG storage tank of 160,000 cu m. The design will also consider future expansions of as much as 700 MMscfd.
