Contractors submitted revised commercial bids on 14 February for two major mechanical, electrical and instrumentation (MEI) and civils packages covering the core element of the Pearl gas-to-liquids (GTL) project in Ras Laffan. The contracts are worth a total of $500 million. Called MC 1 and MC 2, the contracts cover the main process plant (GTL area) and offsites and utilities (flare area) of the project (MEED 7:10:05). The bidders include Athens-based Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC), Nasser al-Hajri Corporation of Saudi Arabia, Tekfen and Gama, both of Turkey, Pakistan's Descon Engineering and Dodsal and Al-Jaber Energy Services, both UAE-based.
Prices were originally submitted in late January. However, the client - a team of Japan's JGC Corporation and the US' Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) - invited fresh bids after reducing the construction period by three months. Under the new proposal, the contracts will take 36 months to complete.The estimated $6,000 million Pearl GTL project calls for the construction of two 70,000-barrel-a-day trains. The first production unit is due to come on stream in 2009 and the second is scheduled for completion two years later. The JGC/KBR team is providing the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services for the synthesis core, utilities and infrastructure packages on the complex. A host of other EPC packages are being tendered directly by the Royal Dutch/Shell Group, the developer of Pearl GTL.
