Yamal LNG Project

The US$29 billion Arctic LNG flagship  KUTA, as an HR supplier, delivered 60+ Chinese and international engineers and 578 person-months, covering the full sequence from engineer to site project manager.

Client: 5-nation EPC consortium · Model: project contract staffing
Case Study

Background

Yamal LNG aims to commercialize natural gas from the Russian Arctic, with total capital expenditure of US$29 billion. The project is delivered by a consortium of EPC contractors and equipment manufacturers from five countries  seven of them Chinese. KUTA served as one of the human-resources suppliers, building and continuously sustaining the on-site Chinese and international engineering team.

Challenge

Client challenges

  • Extreme cold Arctic operations; disciplines span structural, piping, welding, mechanical, painting, fireproofing, insulation, electrical, instrumentation and NDT
  • Full hierarchy required  from engineer through construction manager to site project manager
  • Chinese and expatriate engineers must collaborate across cultures and international standards
  • 578 person-months demands sustained, reliable long-cycle delivery and compliance
  • A large EPC consortium imposes strict credential, background-check, insurance and site-compliance requirements
Solution

How KUTA helped

Parallel search by discipline

Teams split by structural / piping / mechanical / E&I / QA-QC, drawing directly on domestic EPC, offshore and industrial talent with overseas project track records.

Combined Chinese & expatriate supply

Alongside Chinese engineers, we brought in expatriate specialists from Asia and North America to meet the consortium's multilingual, multi-standard needs.

Full hierarchy coverage

From site engineers and discipline leads to construction and project managers, mobilized in waves against project milestones and backfilled on an ongoing basis.

Mobilization & payroll in one window

Employment contracts, payroll, insurance, travel and site logistics are handled by KUTA, so the client and EPC team carry zero personnel administration.
