Wison New Energies (“Wison”) and Eni successfully held the NGUYA FLNG Project Sail Away Ceremony & 30M Manhours LTI Free Celebration. This milestone highlights a breakthrough in global floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) technology and execution excellence, while showcasing the outstanding capabilities of Chinese enterprise in delivering world-class energy infrastructure.
The Nguya FLNG is the core LNG production facility for Eni’s Congo LNG Project. Distinguished guests attended the ceremony to witness this significant moment, including Mr. Bruno Jean Richard ITOUA, Minister of Hydrocarbons of the Republic of Congo; Mr. Stefano MAIONE, Director of Natural Resources Development, Operations & Energy Efficiency of Eni; Mr. Hua Bangsong, founder of Wison Group; Mr. Liu Hongjun, Chairman of Wison New Energies; and Ms. Cheng Yuanyun, CEO of Wison New Energies.
Measuring 376 meters in length, 60 meters in breadth, and 35 meters in depth, NGUYA FLNG has storage capacity for 180,000 cubic meters of LNG and 45,000 cubic meters of LPG. With a liquefaction capacity of 2.4 million tons per annum (MTPA), the facility will be deployed offshore near Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo. For the first time, Wison New Energies has incorporated CHART’s IPSMR® liquefaction technology and SPB® tank to a floating liquefaction production facility, ensuring both high liquefaction efficiency and reliable cargo storage system performance. Additionally, the facility integrates low-carbon features dual-fuel GTGs engines and waste heat recovery units (WHRU), which help reduce carbon emissions without compromising operational efficiency.
“Delivering the NGUYA FLNG within 33 months – from contract award to sail away – and achieving 30 million manhours LTI-free reflects Wison New Energies’ full-cycle EPCIC capabilities and efficiency,” said Mr. Wei Huaqing, Vice President of Wison New Energies and Project Director of NGUYA FLNG. “It demonstrates our strengths in standardized design, international QHSE management, and the integrated competitiveness of China’s manufacturing and supply chain. Through our unique EPCIC one-stop service, we minimized interface across the project execution period, forged seamless collaboration with Eni project team, and ultimately delivered one month ahead of contract schedule—setting a new benchmark for international energy projects.”
Guided by the mission of “enabling a greener future,” Wison New Energies will continue to work with global partners to deliver high-quality, customized clean energy solutions through technological innovation and professional excellence, contributing to a greener and more sustainable global energy future.
