麦克德莫特为阿根廷LNG液化设施提供前端工程设计服务

据哈特能源7月19日消息，7月19日，总部位于阿根廷的YPF SA公司授予麦克德莫特一份规模可观的合同，为阿根廷Vaca Muerta页岩田的一座年产500万吨的LNG液化设施提供前端工程设计服务，该设施的潜在规模将扩大至1000万吨。

工作范围是之前根据2018年的一份合同为阿根廷YPF LNG出口设施进行概念研究的延续。麦克德莫特伦敦办事处将提供工程服务，休斯顿办事处将提供项目管理和评估服务。

麦克德莫特北美、中南美洲高级副总裁Mark Coscio表示：“该项目的获得证明了麦克德莫特在LNG方面的技术专长以及我们多年来与YPF的成功合作基础。我们作为YPF参与的秘鲁LNG工厂EPC承包商的经验，加上麦克德莫特的模块化能力，是使我们有资格赢得并执行该合同的关键因素。”

该项目将促进阿根廷Neuquen地区Vaca Muerta页岩田的开发。

该项目的工作将立即开始，合同的签署将反映在麦克德莫特2019年第二季度的累计工作中。

McDermott Bags Pre-FEED Contract For Vaca Muerta LNG In Argentina

McDermott International Inc. has been awarded a sizeable contract by Argentina-based YPF SA on July 19 to provide pre-FEED services for a five million tonnes per annum (MTPA) LNG liquefaction facility, with a potential expansion to 10 MTPA, at the Vaca Muerta Shale field in Argentina.

The scope of work is a continuation of a previous conceptual study developed for the YPF LNG Export Facility in Argentina under a contract in 2018. McDermott’s London office will provide engineering services while the Houston office will perform project management and estimation services.

“The award of this Pre-FEED project is a testimony of McDermott’s technical expertise in LNG and our successful partnership with YPF over the years,” Mark Coscio, McDermott’s senior vice president for North, Central and South America, said. “Our experience as the EPC contractor for the Peru LNG Facility in which YPF was involved–combined with McDermott’s modularization capabilities–were key factors that made us uniquely qualified to win and execute this contract.”

The project will promote the development of the Vaca Muerta Shale field in The Neuquen region Argentina.

Work on the project will begin immediately, and the contract award will be reflected in McDermott’s second-quarter 2019 backlog.
