Technip Energies has been awarded a contract by Shaanxi LNG Reserves & Logistics for the three million normal cubic meters per day Xi’An LNG emergency reserve and peak regulation project in China.
Technip Energies described the contract as “significant,” meaning the deal will be worth between $55 million and $275 million.
