BG was evaluating the feasibility of developing an LNG import terminal in Thailand. The terminal would use imported LNG to supplement existing natural gas supplies, to help meet a growing gas demand in Thailand. An assessment of potential locations had been made to identify possible locations for a LNG import terminal.

The project was at the feasibility stage and encompassed the following elements:

• An LNG receiving terminal including jetty, storage tank(s) and vaporisation facilities. The LNG terminal will have an estimated capacity of 3 to 5 MTPA
• A land area of around 15 to 20 hectares dependent on location but sufficient to enable future expansion and prevent adjacent encroachment.
• Marine access channel, turning basin and weather protection if required.

Scope of work:

• Assessment of dredging requirements at each of the three potential sites,
• Structural sketch design of the jetty/trestle and +/- 40% cost estimates.
