Bechtel Corporation: Angola LNG
Bechtel Corporation: Angola LNG: "Bechtel's second liquefied natural gas project on the West Coast of Africa is helping turn the continent into a major source of energy.
The plant, located in Angola on the Congo River delta, will have the capacity to produce 5.2 million metric tons per year of LNG—natural gas cooled to minus 160 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, natural gas becomes a liquid that occupies one six-hundredth the volume of gas, so it can be transported safely and economically by sea. The LNG from Angola will be exported primarily to a regasification terminal in Mississipi."
