Four firms have submitted proposals to provide engineering services as the government moves to procure a developer for a natural gas liquids (NGL) storage and marine offloading facility, a component of Guyana’s landmark Gas-to-Energy project.
According to a notice published by the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB), proposals were opened on September 30. The engineering contract seeks a consultant to develop the full request-for-proposals (RFP) package for the upcoming construction tender.
The four bidders for engineering services are:
- Polaris Engineering Limited, S.E.E.S. Inc. (joint venture)
- Summum Projects S.A.S., Excel Guyana Inc. (joint venture)
- Natgas Global Resources Inc.
- K&N Solutions Inc., GDT Offshore S.A. D.E. C.V. (joint venture)
The Gas-to-Energy Task Force is executing the project.
This engineering consultancy represents the first phase of a two-part procurement process launched by the Government of Guyana earlier this year. In June, authorities invited firms to pre-qualify for the second part of the procurement process, which is the construction of the NGL storage and offloading facility with its associated pipeline. The facility will receive NGLs from the gas processing plant being built at Wales, West Bank Demerara. It must accommodate production of around 4,200 barrels per day, scalable to an additional 5,900 barrels per day for a potential second phase.
The deadline for prequalification submissions for the construction tender, initially set for September 30, has been extended to October 21, 2025.
The Gas-to-Energy project will transport natural gas from ExxonMobil’s Liza field in the Stabroek Block via subsea and onshore pipelines to Wales. There, a gas processing plant will separate liquids for sale and supply dry gas to a 300-megawatt power plant designed to dramatically cut electricity costs. Initial gas production is expected at 50 million cubic feet per day, with a second phase under review that could increase throughput by another 75 million cubic feet per day and support a second power plant.
Completion of the Phase 1 integrated gas processing facility is targeted for 2026.
