Technip awarded contract for a project in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait
Technip was awarded a contract by Kuwait Gulf Oil Company (KGOC), for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning assistance of their Gas and Condensate Export System project.
The objective of the project is to deliver a combination of lean
gas, condensate and sour gas through a single 12" export pipeline
from Al Khafji Joint Operations (KJO) facilities in Saudi Arabia to
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) tie-in facility,namely the Intermediate
Slug Catcher being constructed under KOC Project No EF/1718 near
Al-Ahmadi, Kuwait. The facilities will also assist KPC / KJO in
achieving one of their primary targets of 1% flaring by reducing
the gas flared and additionally monetize valuable hydrocarbon
resources.
Total export pipeline length is 110 kilometers, with 4 kilometers
onshore in Saudi Arabia, followed by 47 kilometers offshore and 59
kilometers onshore in Kuwait.
Technip's operating center in Abu Dhabi will execute the project,
which is scheduled to be completed by the second semester of 2014.
Offshore installation will use the Comanche, one of the vessels
which entered the Technip fleet with the acquisition of Global
Industries.
This award demonstrates Technip's capabilities in both the onshore
and offshore sectors, and is a new milestone in Technip's continued
support to its clients in the Middle East.
The project is spread over onshore and offshore locations in two
countries, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
