Sofregaz

What Sofregaz does

Sofregaz is an independent engineering company headquartered in Puteaux (Paris La Défense), France, founded in 1959 by Gaz de France and currently majority-owned by GET Group. The firm provides professional engineering services across the full energy infrastructure lifecycle — from conceptual studies, feasibility, and pre-FEED through FEED, detailed engineering, EPC, and EPCM, to ongoing technical assistance and due diligence. Its core technology domains span LNG terminals (onshore import, FSRU/FSU regasification, gas-to-power, small-scale LNG, export terminals, LNG tanks), oil & gas treatment (central processing facilities, gathering systems, compression/pumping stations), gas and product pipelines, CCUS (capture, liquefaction, transport, storage, with novel integration of LNG terminal cold energy into CO2 liquefaction), ammonia terminal infrastructure, hydrogen energy solutions, and cryogenic/refrigerated storage tanks for LNG, LPG, ammonia, CO2, and liquid hydrogen. Sofregaz operates technology-agnostically — i.e., not tied to any proprietary process licence — which allows it to recommend the optimal vendor/technology for each client project.

The company serves enterprise and government clients globally across 95 countries, including national oil companies (Sonatrach, CPC Taiwan, PTTEP, Repsol, BOTAS), LNG terminal operators (ELENGY, DESFA, EDF/Dunkerque LNG, HEH, TES, Klaipėdos Nafta), utilities and pipeline operators (Gaz System, GALSI), and infrastructure JVs (GNA — Prumo/BP/Siemens). Its revenue model is project-based professional services: bespoke, multi-year FEED/EPC/EPCM engagements scoped per client, with pricing determined by scope, complexity, and duration (no public pricing). Sofregaz acquires work via direct enterprise sales and competitive tendering, supported by a digital presence (corporate website, LinkedIn), industry-conference participation, and a project case-study portfolio. Marquee deliverables cited include 1,300+ projects since 1959, the Stade LNG Terminal (16 bcm/a), Dunkerque LNG (13 BCM/year), GO CO2 (2.3 MTPA CO2), and the GR5 Algeria 760 km gas pipeline. Disclosed revenue is "over $500M" framed within the GET Group, with 5,000+ personnel across the parent group.

Revenue model

1. Engineering Consulting Services: Professional services revenue generated through conceptual studies, feasibility studies, pre-FEED, FEED, detailed engineering, owner's engineering, and PMC/EPCM contract services for energy infrastructure projects. Contracts are project-based, typically multi-year engagements covering the full project lifecycle from early advisory through to construction support and commissioning.
2. EPC Project Delivery: Revenue from Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts for small to medium-scale projects, including execution as a sole EPC contractor or as a partner in a consortium or joint venture. Sofregaz also serves as EPCM contractor providing engineering, procurement management, and construction oversight services.
3. Technical Assistance & Due Diligence: Fees for specialized technical assistance and due diligence services including troubleshooting, debottlenecking, performance optimization, revamping and modernization of existing plants, safety and compliance upgrades, and independent peer review and risk assessment services.

Core offering

Sofregaz is an independent engineering company delivering consulting, FEED, detailed engineering, owner's engineering, EPC/EPCM, and technical assistance for energy infrastructure projects — including LNG import/export terminals, FSRU/FSU regasification, gas pipelines, oil & gas treatment facilities, cryogenic storage tanks, CO2 capture/liquefaction/transport/storage, ammonia terminals, and hydrogen infrastructure — across the full project lifecycle from early studies through commissioning.

Product overview

Sofregaz is an independent engineering company offering a comprehensive portfolio of professional services for energy infrastructure projects. The company provides four core service lines: Advisory & Consultancy (conceptual design, feasibility, permitting), Engineering Services (FEED, detailed engineering, owner's engineering), Project Delivery EPC-EPCM (construction management), and Technical Assistance & Due Diligence (plant optimization, revamping, safety upgrades). Business lines span Conventional Energies (LNG services, oil and gas treatment, flare gas recovery, pipeline systems) and New Energies (CCUS, ammonia solutions, hydrogen). The company also specializes in cryogenic storage tank design for LNG, LPG, ammonia, and CO2 applications. The portfolio is structured as a service-based offering rather than a software product, with each service area representing distinct professional engineering capabilities.
