Chinese contractor Wison Offshore and Marine has been awarded a gig to provide procurement services for an unnamed liquefied natural gas plant in West Africa.

Shanghai-based Wison in recent years has enjoyed success in fabricating LNG modules, having concluded a number of deals including one with Eni to build a floating LNG vessel destined to exploit the Italian energy giant’s gas asset offshore Congo-Brazzaville.

“This contract is for the procurement of an undisclosed onshore LNG plant project,” Wison said, even though Asia-based engineering sources told Upstream the contractor’s scope also includes engineering and construction for the facility to be built in Nigeria’s Akwa Ibom State.
