KUALA LUMPUR: Genting Bhd
’s 95%-owned subsidiary, PT Layar Nusantara Gas (PTLNG), has signed a definitive agreement with China National Machinery Import & Export Corporation and Shandong Kerui Energy Development Co. Ltd.
The agreement covers the design, engineering, and procurement of the onshore gas processing plant, connecting pipelines, and supporting facilities for the Genting floating liquefied natural gas project in West Papua, Indonesia.
