TODAY
SAIPEM TODAY IS A WORLD LEADER IN THE GLOBAL SUPPLY
OF ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT, PROJECT MANAGEMENT,
CONSTRUCTION AND DRILLING SERVICES WITH DISTINCTIVE
CAPABILITIES IN THE DESIGN AND EXECUTION OF LARGE-SCALE
OFFSHORE AND ONSHORE PROJECTS.

Saipem has a strong bias towards oil

and gas frontiers, namely activities
in harsh and remote areas, in deep
waters as well as in extremely cold and
hot environments, applying significant
technological competences in many
diverse fields such as gas monetization
and heavy oil exploitation.

Saipem is organized in two Business

Units: Engineering & Construction
and Drilling.

A UNIQUE HISTORY AND EXPERIENCE IN LNG TERMINALS
FOR REGASIFICATION AND STORAGE.
HIGHLIGHTS

DESIGNED AND BUILT TO DATE:

11 LNG REGASIFICATION TERMINALS.

APPLIED THE FOLLOWING VAPORIZER TECHNOLOGIES:

OPEN RACK VAPORIZER (ORV).

SUBMERGED COMBUSTION VAPORIZER (SCV).

INTERMEDIATE FLUID VAPORIZER (IFV).

SHELL AND TUBES EXCHANGER (STE).

In 2002 Saipem acquired Technigaz,

which was subsequently fully
integrated into Saipem SA, a subsidiary
of Saipem.
Technigaz was created in late ‘50s
to develop the engineering of the
LNG carriers storage tanks, based on
membrane technology. The first LNG
maritime carrier has been put into
operation in the 60’s.
In the ‘70s, Technigaz started to
develop its own onshore LNG storage
tanks technology and delivered the
first two above ground membrane
LNG tanks to Gaz De France in Montoir
(France).
In parallel Technigaz entered into the
onshore LNG regasification market and
designed and delivered in 1987 the first
LNG regasification terminal in Korea at
Pyeong Taek for KOGAS, together with
3 LNG membrane tanks.
Technigaz technology was also used in
Japan by its licensees.
