Gasco invites tech bids its 550 US dollars m project to build 310 km long steel gas pipelines

摘要

Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Company (Gasco) has invited companies to submit technical bids by 14 November for the position of project manager for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) phase on the proposed offshore associated gas (OAG) scheme. The invitees include the US/ Canadian VECO, the UK's Stone & Webster, part of the US' Shaw Group, Australia's WorleyParsons and Foster Wheeler and Mustang Engineering, both of the US. A tentative deadline of 28 November has been set for the submission of commercial bids. Estimated to cost 550 million dollars, the project will be carried out in three packages. The first will cover the supply and installation of compressor and booster stations, dehydration units and facilities on Das island for the separation and treatment of bulk natural gas liquids (NGL) recovered from offshore gas. Package 2 will involve the supply and installation of a 24-inch-di-ameter, 200-kilometre-long marine and land pipeline to transport 470 million cubic feet a day (cf/d) of associated gas from Das island for processing at Habshan. The last package will cover the supply and installation of a 24-inch, 110-kilometre offshore pipeline. The local Fugro Survey (Middle East) has been awarded a subcontract to carry out route and bathymetric surveys for the projects' pipeline element.
