The Launch Ceremony of the First NGUYA FLNG Cargo Loading was recently held for Eni’s NGUYA FLNG offshore Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo, which is being executed by Wison New Energies as the EPCIC contractor. The achievement confirms the successful completion of key commissioning and start-up activities, with the full process train lined up and the project entering the operation phase, laying a solid foundation for long-term safe, stable and efficient performance and LNG export. It also provides strong international endorsement for the maturity and reliability of Wison New Energies’ integrated EPCIC delivery system.

First LNG Cargo provides a comprehensive validation of the overall process scheme, engineering integrity and the performance of critical equipment. The core liquefaction technology package and its ICSS system have been proven under live gas conditions, with key equipment operating steadily within the design envelope — demonstrating Wison’s capabilities in complex system integration and commissioning/start-up execution management.

Following the “35 months from the contract award to start-up” record, NGUYA FLNG achieved first cargo offshore Pointe-Noire — highlighting the efficiency of Eni’s fast track development model and end-to-end strength of Wison’s one-stop EPCIC capability for large-scale floating energy projects.

Notably, Wison New Energies and Eni have recently signed an Operations and Global Maintenance Services (O&M) contract for the NGUYA FLNG, extending the collaboration beyond project delivery and start-up into the operations and maintenance phase, and further strengthening Wison’s full-lifecycle service portfolio and capability.

Looking ahead, Wison New Energies will remain committed to safety, quality and delivery excellence, partnering with stakeholders to support stable operations and ramp-up, and create long-term value for global partners.
