Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the NLNGSix project at its existing liquefied natural gas facility to partners of the equal joint venture team, which includes Technip, Snamprogetti, KBR and JGC Corporation. This is the fourth project that partners contracted with NLNG.

The addition of the sixth train will boost NLNG's production capacity by four million TPA of LNG, to an overall production capacity for the complex of 22 million TPA of LNG and five million TPA of natural gas liquids. The sixth train is scheduled to start up in the 4Q 2007 and most of the production has been sold for North American destinations.

Dr. Andrew Jamieson, Managing Director of Nigeria LNG Ltd., said the expansion of the facility will place NLNG among the largest producers of LNG in the world. Additionally, he said the sixth train project will have significant positive effects on the Nigerian economy, including local content, technology transfer and the training and development of indigenous manpower and contractors.

NLNG shareholders are Nigerian National Petroleum Company (49%) and subsidiaries of Royal Dutch/Shell (25.6%), Total (15%) and Eni (10.4%).
