Five prequalified international contractors are expected to submit bids for the onshore component of the Barzan gas development scheme, after Qatar Petroleum (QP) extended the closing date until the end of January.
The five companies which prequalified for the front-end engineering and design package are Chiyoda Corporation and JGC Corporation of Japan, France’s Technip and the US’ Foster Wheeler and Fluor.
The original deadline was early December 2007.
The offshore component is being tendered separately.
The development has grown four-fold from its initial target of 1,500 million cubic feet a day (cf/d). The plans now in place are for six gas trains to be developed over the next eight years.
Owned by QP and the US’ ExxonMobil Corporation, and executed by Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company (RasGas), it is expected to be run in three separate phases.
The first phase will deliver 1,500 million cf/d of gas by 2012, the second 2,000 million cf/d and the third up to 2,500 million cf/d.
