After passing through a turndown of plant engineering in the late 1990s, the 2000s brought expanding energy demand in the developing countries which formed the backdrop to sharp rises in crude oil prices and an unprecedented boom in plant construction in the Gulf countries of the Middle East.
By staying among the first to respond to this circumstance, JGC also experienced a rapid expansion in business performance and contracts won. The growth in natural gas demand that continued from the late 1990s brought the company a succession of contracts to build LNG plants and natural gas processing plants.
