THE NATURAL GAS CHAIN
New Gas Contracts and Projects Under Execution
in Europe
Maire Tecnimont and Sofregaz continue to contribute to the
development of the pan-European natural gas infrastructure. In
2008 the Group undertook new projects in gas storage and front-end
engineering design and project management services for LNG
terminals, whilst continuing the construction of one of Europe’s
most important regasification terminals.
New Gas Storage Project in Poland
Transportation
Tecnimont is part of a consortium executing a lump-sum turnkey
contract to develop a 1.2 billion cubic metres underground storage
facility at Wierzchowice for the state-owned Polish oil and gas
company (PGNiG). The consortium, led by the Polish company PBG,
includes Tecnimont and other two Czech companies.
Work started in November 2008 and is focused on the design,
procurement and construction of surface facilities. The entire project
will be completed within 36 months, by November 2011. Sofregaz
performed the first feasibility studies on the use of the depleted gas
fields in Wierzchowice for natural gas storage in the 1990s.

Engineering Services and EPC Projects in Europe
In 2008 Maire Tecnimont’s expertise in natural gas was confirmed
by the award of several contracts for studies, front-end engineering
design and project management services for the construction of
LNG receiving terminals in Europe.
Sofregaz won a contract from Electricité de France (EDF) for frontend
engineering design and project management consulting for a
new 10 billion cubic metres/year LNG receiving terminal at
Dunkerque. The work has an estimated value of ¤26 million and
consists of three phases. It should be completed by 2015.
In Panigaglia, Italy, Sofregaz is performing front-end engineering
design and project management consulting services for the
expansion of GNL Italia’s existing LNG terminal from 3.5 billion
cubic metres to 8 million cubic metres capacity. GNL Italia, part of
the Eni Group, operates the only LNG regasification facility in Italy.
In 2008 construction continued on a second LNG terminal for
Société du Terminal Méthanier de Fos Cavaou at Fos-sur-Mer, near
Marseilles, in southern France. The engineering, procurement and
construction contract covering the design, materials supply and
realization of the terminal was awarded in 2004 to a joint venture of
Tecnimont, Sofregaz and Saipem. The new terminal will have a
capacity of 6.5 billion cubic metres/year and includes three 110,000
cubic metre storage tanks.
