A joint venture between Canada’s SNC-Lavalin and Oman’s Al-Hassan Engineering has been awarded a contract by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) for the turnkey design and construction and first year of operational support of the Saih Nihayda Gas Plant (SNGP) in Oman. The fixed price contract is valued at approximately $115 million.  

 

The project will be managed by SNC-Lavalin's Calgary-based Chemicals, Petroleum and Industrial Business Unit over a three-year period. The contract includes the design, supply and installation of a 20 million standard temperature measurement (sm3/day) gas treatment plant and associated gas gathering facilities for the Expansion Phase 1 gas development project in central Oman.  

 

The plant will produce 10,000 sm3/day of condensate, a light petroleum oil used in feed stock, and 1,000 m3/day of water. The gas produced will be delivered into an existing gas export pipeline to the Sharqiya region, ultimately supplying the existing liquified natural gas plant at Qalhat near Sur.  

 

Established in 1975, Al Hassan Engineering is an EPC contractor involved in the industrial development of Oman. Its capabilities encompass the oil, gas, power and water sectors, and the operations and maintenance of oil and gas facilities. It has worked with international contractors on a host of major projects in the Sultanate. — (menareport.com)
