background

Arctic LNG 2 is a strategic project aimed at developing one of the largest infrastructures for the production of liquefied natural gas in the world, on the Gydan Peninsula in Russia. It is based on a major innovation: the installation of three liquefaction platforms mounted on concrete gravity structures (GBS). This challenge requires overcoming extreme climatic and logistical constraints, requiring advanced expertise in offshore engineering and in hostile environments. Vulcain supports Technip Energies by providing its know-how in modular engineering and in supervising the design of gas treatment modules. The Arctic environment requires careful planning and very demanding safety standards. The success of Arctic LNG 2 lies in the ability of all players to innovate, collaborate and anticipate every detail, in order to produce competitive LNG in a rapidly changing global market.

Customer needs

This project was part of a demanding geopolitical and environmental context. Technip Energies was looking for a partner capable of operating in offshore engineering in hostile environments. Vulcain has therefore provided its know-how in modular engineering and supervision of gas treatment modules. The objective was to ensure technical consistency, quality and safety, while anticipating climate constraints and transport risks. The challenges included coordinating multiple stakeholders, controlling costs and meeting deadlines in an evolving LNG market.

Specificity of the mission

Vulcain has deployed an international team to pilot the engineering studies and supervise the technical coherence of the modules. In an Arctic environment, this approach requires demanding risk management, in the face of extreme weather conditions and logistical constraints. Our experts ensure quality and safety, while integrating the particularities of the project. Thanks to our know-how in modular engineering, we promote smooth commissioning on GBS, contributing to the establishment of a key infrastructure for the global LNG market.
