The consortium was selected by ADC from a competitive pool of companies following the completion of a tender.
The project’s scope encompasses full engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) of a 720 mmscfd onshore LNG regasification facility, marine works, jetty topside work and other associated components, according to a statement by South Korea-based Gas Entec.
Also, the LNG terminal is expected to be completed, commissioned, and delivered within 22 months.
Gas Entec did not provide the price tag of the deal, but local reports in Jordan suggest the contract is worth $125 million.
Jordan currently imports LNG via the 160,000-cbm FSRU, Energos Eskimo, located in Aqaba.
The country has chartered the FSRU until 2025, while Egypt also uses this unit to secure natural gas supplies.
Gas Entec said Jordan relies heavily on natural gas for its power and industrial needs but faces challenges with supply reliability.
The new LNG terminal will provide Jordan with the flexibility to access LNG from various global suppliers, ensuring a stable and secure energy source, it said.
This award complements Gas Entec and AG&P’s portfolio, including LNG terminals in Indonesia and the Philippines, four FSRU conversions globally, two LNG FSU carrier conversions, and three LNG bunkering ships in North America, Japan, and Singapore respectively, it said.
