ADGAS awards multi-million dollar contract to MEPI

The Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Company LTD (ADGAS), has awarded a USD610 million contract for Package One of the Offshore Associated Gases (OAG) Project on Das Island to Middle East Projects International (MEPI), a fully owned subsidiary of Technip.
The facility would compress, dehydrate and dispatch offshore gases to the facilities of Habshan, to be processed and provided for local consumption.
The move is part of ADGAS' vision that aspires to play a key role in the UAE energy strategy and to ensure its active participation in meeting Abu Dhabi's future needs of gas. ADGAS had developed its vision and plans, going beyond its traditional role as a gas producer and exporter, and stressing an active participation in the UAE energy strategy.
The project is the first building block that links offshore gas on the one hand, and onshore gases and local market on the other. The gases are received, compressed dehydrated and dispatched by ADGAS through a 30 inch marine pipeline to Habshan facilities to be processed there.
The value of contract, which stands at a Lump Sum Value of US$ 610 Million, covers the engineering, procurement and construction works. It aims at preparing and dispatching the additional quantities of associated, low-pressure gases that would become available at Das Island from ADMA-OPCO when oil production is increased by 25%, from the current level (to around 600,000 BPD).
The project scope covers the engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning and the Performance Test Run of the new processing facilities that will compress, dehydrate and dispatch a maximum of 211 MMscfd of additional low-pressure associated gases per day, available from ADMA OPCO on Das Island to Habshan as onshore facility.
The plant is expected to be fully operational towards end of 2009. Source
