by the Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Company (ADGAS) for the front end engineering design (FEED) phase of its flaring and emission reduction project at its liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities on Das Island, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Te 10-month contract, the value of which has not been announced, will be carried out by AMEC’s team in the UAE and will help ADGAS to reduce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide emissions at the plant. Tis is in line with ADGAS’s policy of minimising the environmental impact of its operations and, as a result, contributing towards reducing the impact on global warming. AMEC has also won a second PMC in the
UAE, this time from Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO) for the execution phase of the Nasr phase-1 and Umm Lulu phase-1 field offshore development projects. Te multi-million dollar, 30-month contract covers the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) phase of these offshore developments. Meanwhile the Clough AMEC joint venture has been awarded a contract valued in excess of AU$30m (€24m )for the operability, reliability and maintainability (ORM) component of Chevron’s Wheatstone offshore facility offshore Western Australia. Te scope of work involves building the maintenance database, assuring operational readiness for the offshore facility, including writing of all operations procedures, all training and development programmes, and operations engineering and support services. Te work will be performed by Clough AMEC. Te project starts immediately, will employ over 50 people at its peak, and will last three and a half years.
In a second project win in Australia, the Clough AMEC joint venture has been awarded a contract to provide maintenance support to the 1.3b m3
/y
onshore gas treatment plant and the offshore unmanned wellhead platform for Eni’s Blacktip project, supplying gas to the country’s Northern Territory. Te scope of work involves providing support for routine and campaign maintenance along with specialist consultancy services, multidiscipline engineering, procurement, and management of subcontractors and fabrication.
Contracts Foster Wheeler has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm) services contract by TOTAL Raffinage- Chimie for the revamp of a hydrodesulfurisation unit at the company’s refinery in Antwerp, Belgium. Te revamp should enable the refinery to
produce jet fuel with a sulphur content below 30 ppm and diesel with a sulphur content below 10 ppm, in accordance with European Union requirements. Foster Wheeler has already completed the FEED
for this revamp. Te revamp is expected to be mechanically complete by the end of July 2013. Te company has also won a contract from PT
Pertamina (Persero), the national oil company of the Republic of Indonesia, to provide project management consultancy services for the residue fluid catalytic cracker (RFCC) project at the Cilacap refinery, on the island of Java. In the Caribbean, Foster Wheeler has been
awarded the basic design and FEED contract by Complejo GNL del Este, a consortium formed by Dominican and Colombian companies that
Cheniere selects Bechtel for LNG trains B
echtel has been selected by Cheniere Energy Partners to
provide engineering, procurement, and construction services for two new liquefaction trains at the Sabine Pass liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, USA. Te project builds on Bechtel’s previous work at Sabine Pass where the company designed, built, and expanded the LNG receiving facility. “We are thrilled Cheniere Partners has selected Bechtel for this important project that will transform Sabine Pass into a bi-directional facility capable of liquefying and exporting natural gas

as well as importing and regasifying foreign-sourced LNG,” said Jack Futcher, president of Bechtel’s oil, gas, and chemicals business unit. “We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration with them.” Bechtel will design, construct, and commission the two liquefaction trains using the ConocoPhillips Optimised Cascade technology. Te liquefaction trains will be built next to the existing facilities at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal, which include five tanks with storage capacity of 16.9 b ft3
equivalent, two docks that can handle vessels up to 265,000 m3
, and
vaporisers with regasification capacity of 4b ft3
/d. Construction is expected to begin in 2012. “Bechtel was chosen to develop and
construct our liquefaction facilities due to their extensive LNG capabilities and experience in building some of the world’s largest LNG production facilities. Our trains are being designed with the best combination of efficiency, cost, and reliability, and with the turndown capability needed to provide flexible LNG delivery programmes,” said Charif Souki, chairman and ceo of Cheniere Energy Partners. ●
