Okra Energy has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for Peru’s first small scale LNG facility to Flesan.
Okra Energy, through its Peruvian subsidiary Lantera Energy SAC, is constructing this first-to-market, high-efficiency natural gas solution in Piura, northern Peru.
The LNG plant is 95% complete, and is due to be operational in July 2018.
The entirely of the new facility’s supply of LNG has already been pre-sold to an international gas distributor and a division of the largest steel manufacturer in the Western Hemisphere. Three additional Okra Energy small scale LNG facilities are also currently under contract for delivery in Peru.
Okra Energy’s CEO, Louis Ravenet, said: “By selecting Flesan, we are assured that our installation is constructed to the highest standards of both quality and safety, and meets both our deadlines and budget.”
