Oilfield services provider TechnipFMC has been awarded a major integrated contract for the Coral South FLNG project offshore Mozambique.
The contract has been awarded by CORAL FLNG SA to TechnipFMC, together with JGC Corporation and Samsung Heavy Industries, all partners in the TJS Consortium where TechnipFMC is the leader.
