CB&I is currently building an LNG regasification facility in Chile to help address the country's urgent need for natural gas. The project includes an innovative design that will allow the plant to become operational a year before the main storage facilities are completed. Once the entire project is finished in 2010, the plant is expected to meet 40% of Chile's demand for natural gas. The overall annual supply capacity of the plant is 2.5 million tonnes and each of the 2 full containment storage tanks will hold 160,000 cubic meters of LNG. GNL Quintero S.A. is a joint venture between Endesa Chile, ENAP, Metrogas Chile and BG Group plc.
