Cerilon has awarded Worley a deal for their front-end engineering design (FEED) phase of a gas-to-liquids (GTL) project in North Dakota, US.

Cerilon says that the GTL facility will convert natural gas to produce a nominal 3,816m3 (24,000 barrels) per day of unique, high-performance synthetic products. These products include Group III+ base oils,1 ultra-low sulphur diesel, and naphtha. 

It will be the first GTL project globally to include carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) on a commercial scale and will provide production facilities for base oils that are otherwise largely imported, said Cerilon.

For this project, Worley will adopt a ‘design one, build many' approach. Worley categorises this contract as sustainable work in accordance with Worley's definition of sustainability-related work.

Worley is currently completing the pre-FEED phase for this project. Under the agreement services will be provided for the FEED phase through its offices in Calgary with support from offices around the world, including Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teams.

"We look forward to continuing to support Cerilon as they produce lower carbon products and energy, consistent with our purpose of delivering a more sustainable world," said Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley.

Worley also recently won a contract from UK-based Dragon LNG to carry out a comprehensive feasibility study to explore the benefits of integrating liquefied natural gas (LNG) and carbon dioxide (CO2) liquefaction processes, as reported by Energy News Bulletin (ENB). https://www.energynewsbulletin.net/energy-transition/news/4205106/dragon-lng-hires-worley-study-co2-liquefaction
