Technip Energies is progressing with the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction of the Marsa LNG plant in Oman, a project operated by the Marsa LNG joint venture, comprising TotalEnergies and OQ Exploration and Production.
The groundbreaking facility sets a new benchmark for sustainability in LNG production. Unlike conventional LNG plants powered by gas turbines, the Marsa LNG facility will use electric-driven motors, with all electrical requirements fully offset by a dedicated solar farm. This innovative design is expected to make the plant one of the lowest greenhouse gas intensity LNG facilities in the world.
Further contributing to emissions reduction, the LNG produced will be used as marine fuel, offering a cleaner energy alternative for the shipping industry and supporting global efforts to lower maritime carbon emissions.
Technip Energies’ CEO, Arnaud Pieton, attended the groundbreaking ceremony and commented: “This is great news and I’d like to thank every member of our team for their dedication. We broke ground not just on a facility, but on a vision – one built on collaboration, innovation, and determination, as we help turn our clients’ plans into progress.”
The project has moved forward rapidly. Technip Energies teams were mobilised on site in early January 2025 when the first equipment arrived and preparations for construction offices began. Piling activities commenced by the end of February, marking the next phase of physical development at the site.
