JAPAN'S JGC Holdings has been awarded a front-end engineering and design contract by Kazakhstan state oil and gas player KazMunaiGaz (KMG) covering a proposed major gas separation facility at the country's giant Tengiz oilfield. The deal came as JGC reported a rise in third-quarter profit for the financial year to the end of March despite revenues slipping year-on-year. The planned gas separation plant will be able to take up to 9.1 billion cubic metres per annum of by-pass gas mixture after it is extracted and processed by Tengizchevroil, the Chevron-led operator of the field. The aim of the plant is to split ethane from the mixture into a separate stream that will then be delivered as raw material for manufacturing polyethylene at a proposed second gas-to-polymers facility near the city of Atyrau.
