Fluor wins Gasco ethane recovery EPC

18 July 2003
US-based Fluor Daniel has been awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a gas recovery project in onshore Abu Dhabi. Known as the ethane recovery maximisation (ERM) scheme, the project calls for enhancing gas recovery at the Thamama-F train at the onshore Habshan field, built under the first phase of the onshore gas development (OGD-1) scheme. Additional volumes of gas are expected to be produced from a debottlenecking process and minor modifications to the F train (MEED 13:6:03; 30:5:03).

The estimated $100 million contract will take at least 16 months to complete. Fluor Daniel carried out the design and detailed engineering package for the EPC contract.

The client is Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Company (Gasco), which is planning two more projects at Habshan - OGD-3 and the expansion of the existing gas complex (see Special Report, ADNOC, pages 31-34).
