They are US-based ABB Lummus Global, Hyundai Engineering & Construction Company of South Korea, the local National Petroleum Construction Company and Italy's Snamprogetti. A provisional deadline of 12 November has been set for the return of commercial bids (MEED 20:9:02; 11:1:02).
The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract is estimated to be worth $50 million. It covers the supply and installation of three booster compression units, each of 600 million cubic feet a day (cf/d), at Habshan in Abu Dhabi emirate, and modifications to the gathering units at Maqta and the Jebel Ali gas receiving stations.
