Recently, a grand completion ceremony was held for the Soyo natural gas processing plant project in Angola, which was constructed by China National Chemical Engineering Third Construction Company. The official commissioning of this project marks a milestone in Angola’s efforts to diversify its energy mix, providing a safeguard for energy security and accelerating the commercial development of natural gas resources. Located in Soyo, Zaire Province, Angola, the plant has a total investment of 4 billion US dollars. As a key component of Angola’s first project for developing non-associated natural gas, it is tasked with extracting such gas from the Quiluma and Maboqueiro shallow-sea gas fields. With a daily processing capacity of 1.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas, its operation will help alleviate energy shortages, increase the country’s energy self-sufficiency rate, expand its share in the international energy market, and enhance Angola’s competitiveness in the global natural gas sector. Sanhua Jian took on key tasks such as the installation of the project’s steel structure, the placement of core equipment, the fabrication and installation of process pipelines, anti-corrosion and insulation work, as well as the calibration of electrical instruments; it served as the driving force behind the smooth progress of the project. Faced with challenges such as large scale, complex engineering processes, and special geographical conditions, Sanhua Construction utilized its strong technical capabilities to ensure the safe, precise, and efficient progress of the project, thereby demonstrating China’s comprehensive competitiveness in the field of large-scale energy and chemical engineering projects. It served as a vivid example of the joint efforts between China and Africa under the Belt and Road Initiative.
