Project Profile
Location: Idku
Value: US$900 million
Capacity: 7.2 million tons/annum
BG Group and partners supply Trains 1 and 2 of Egyptian LNG with gas from the Simian, Sienna and Sapphire fields in WDDM. Together, these trains have a productive capacity of 7.2 mtpa of LNG.
The Egyptian LNG facilities, located at Idku, comprise the two LNG production trains and include the common facilities such as storage tanks, loading jetty and utilities. There is sufficient space at the Idku site for a further four LNG trains. The commercial structure of Egyptian LNG has been designed to allow future expansion without the need to involve all existing partners, and it is possible that third parties could supply gas to future Egyptian LNG trains.
The Egyptian LNG Company owns both the Egyptian LNG site and common facilities. Its sister company, Egyptian Operating Company for Natural Gas Liquefaction Projects (Opco) (BG Group 35.5%), undertakes the operation of all trains.
El Beheira Natural Gas Liquefaction Company (Train 1 Co.) (BG Group 35.5%) owns Train 1 and the Idku Natural Gas Liquefaction Company (Train 2 Co.) (BG Group 38%) owns Train 2.
