Background
In 2007 Argentina and Uruguay signed an Energy Cooperation Agreement for the construction of a regasification plant close to Montevideo in Uruguay. A contract was awarded to Foster Wheeler to perform the conceptual study, the front end engineering and design (FEED) and to prepare the bid to select the company to design, build, own and operate the Montevideo LNG project.[13][14]
In 2012 Argentina pulled out of the agreement to develop its own domestic shale resources. In May 2013, GDF-Suez came out as the front runner of the competition for this build, own, operate and transfer (BOOT) contract for this Uruguay LNG terminal project.[13]
In 2013 GDF Suez was awarded the BOOT contract, and in 2014 Marubeni became a 50-50 partner on the project.[15] The terminal was planned to have 10 million cubic meters/day of send-out capacity.[16]
The FSRU was planned for 2018, after Mitsui took control of the contract in 2015.[17]
There have been no development updates since 2015 and the project is presumed to be cancelled.
