Daewoo E&C expands LNG presence in Nigeria, Mozambique

Major construction firm Daewoo Engineering & Construction is expanding its liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure footprint across Africa. The company is currently building the LNG Train 7 (T7) project in Nigeria and Trains 1 and 2 for LNG Area 1 in Mozambique. According to the company, both projects reflect its extensive project portfolio across the continent, which is rich in LNG reserves. Through the Nigerian T7 project, Daewoo E&C has cemented its status as an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) prime contractor for LNG liquefaction plant construction — a qualification the company says had never previously been achieved by a Korean firm due to the dominance of a handful of global EPC players. Daewoo’s growing presence in Africa is rooted in decades of experience on the continent. In Nigeria, Africa’s largest LNG producer, the company previously completed LNG liquefaction Trains 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, demonstrating its capabilities and earning market trust. It also carried out EPC work for central gas processing facility projects, including CAFC in Algeria and Gbaran
