Japan’s JGC Coporation has been awarded a $1.6 billion contract by Dolphin Energy (DEL) for design, materials procurement, construction and commissioning services for a large-scale gas processing plant at Ras Laffan, Qatar.
DEL is planning a major project for natural gas extracted from the North Field site in Qatar by a 70-kilometer seabed subsea pipeline to Ras Laffan, where gas will be processed and refined before it is transported by a 400 -kilometer pipeline to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The refined gas will be used to fuel power generation plants in Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the UAE and will be exported as LPG and condensate.
JGC Middle East, the company’s subsidiary in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, will construct gas processing plants at Ras Laffan in Qatar that will form the core of the project. Completion is expected in 2006.
JGC Corporation is an international engineering and construction company based in Yokohama, Japan. The company is currently executing projects in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iran, Egypt, Algeria and Malaysia. — (menareport.com)
