Costain Oil, Gas and Process (Cogap) has been awarded a contract by Eni Pakistan Limited for the provision of engineering, procurement services and construction management support services for the Khirthar Concession in Sindh.
The work will involve a wide variety of projects and runs for three years.
The initial principal project, valued at over $40 million, will comprise the Badhra Tie-in Project for the Badhra and Bhit field expansion.
This will involve installation of additional capacity at the existing site and will tap into the Badhra reserve via a new 20-km pipeline.
The award follows on from the Front End Engineering Design (Feed) contract for this expansion, which was recently completed by Costain for Eni Pakistan and builds on Cogap's previous work with Eni for the original installation at Bhit of two Nitrogen Rejection Units (NRU's). Those units form part of the existing gas processing trains, which deliver around a third of Karachi's total natural gas demand.
The work will require a multi-disciplined team of engineers and comprise a range of activities, including Feed studies, detailed engineering design, and management services for both new facilities and existing plant upgrades.
Cogap Managing Director Charles Sweeney said: "We are extremely pleased to have been selected by Eni Pakistan for this contract, which will provide us with the longer term opportunity to demonstrate our unique overall skills in the design and delivery of projects for gas production, treatment, processing and compression."
