Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: at Kakinada Deep Water Port, East Coast of India
Capacity: 3.5 mtpa (potential expansion to 5.25 mtpa), 217,000 cubic meters of liquefied gas, 21 million cubic meters of gas per day
Start-up Year: -
The deepwater FSRU project developed by the Andra Pradesh Gas Distribution Corporation, a joint company established by GAIL and Andra Pradesh Gas Infrastructure Corporation, will have a design capacity of 3.5 mtpa with room for potential expansion to 5.25 mtpa. In January 2016, India’s ministry of environment, forest and climate change granted the environmental and coastal regulation zone (CRZ) clearance for the proposed Kakinada LNG FSRU project. The FSRU-based terminal will include marine facilities for LNG import, an approximately 3.1 km high-pressure subsea pipeline to transport regasified LNG to coast and an onshore receiving facility for gas metering skid, control room and supply to the gas grid. The FSRU will be able to receive carriers with a maximum capacity of 217,000 cubic metres of liquefied gas and will be able to handle 21 million cubic metres of gas per day. The proposed project’s construction is scheduled to last two years after receiving the environmental approval. The 1,800-crore floating LNG Terminal will be located at Kakinada Deep Water Port and set a stiff 18-month deadline to execute the project. This would be the first LNG terminal on the East Coast of India when ready.
