Background
Eni will deploy a second FLNG terminal in its Marine XII block, adding 2.4 mtpa of LNG production capacity its to 0.6-mtpa Congo FLNG Terminal already in operation. Eni has signed a contract with Wison Heavy Industry for the construction and installation of the FLNG unit.[10] Construction began in January 2023.[11]
As of June 2024, Eni said construction of the project was progressing, putting it on track for a startup in Q4 of 2025.[12]
In November 2024, Eni announced it had successfully launched the hull of the Nguya FLNG at Wison Heavy Industry's shipyard in Nantong, China. The vessel is planned to sail to the Republic of the Congo in September 2025, with startup planned for December 2025.[13][14]
According to a June 2025 Upstream article, the Nguya FLNG was now expected to arrive in 2026.[15]
