Tractebel DFR for Mundra LNG plant
Tractebel will soon be ready with a Detailed Feasibility Report (DFR) for Gujarat’s third LNG receiving terminal after Dahej and Hazira.
PETROWATCH hears project promoters GSPC and Adani hired Tractebel in mid-June to carry out a DFR for a proposed LNG terminal at Adani-operated Mundra port with a three-month deadline for submission. But project sources believe Tractebel will be ready with the DFR later, by end-September.
“Nobody will take the Mundra project seriously unless we start making serious investments,†we hear. “Too much loose talk about LNG terminals at Ennore, Pipavav and Haldia has made people cautious.
†GSPC and Adani have already identified a 75-acre area of land on which to build the LNG terminal and by the end of this year want to award a consultancy for marine studies. Basic engineering at the project site is also imminent.
All that remains is for GSPC (50%) and Adani (25%) to identify a third partner and secure LNG supplies.
