Tender expected to be issued in September for estimated $10bn Jordan pipeline
Iraqs Oil Ministry is finalising the tender documents for a $10bn crude oil export pipeline through Jordan, with a release date before the end of September.
They will finalise all the details next week, so we should see a tender by about 20 September, a source close to the project tells MEED.

Scop plans to receive bids in stages, with final priced proposals due by the middle of December. The evaluation and selection of a preferred bidder is expected to be announced by 31 December. Contract negotiations and financial close are planned for 2014.
The Iraq-Jordan pipeline will run from the PS-5A pumping station in Haditha in the west of Iraq to the Port of Aqaba in Jordan. SNC Lavalin is acting as the Oil Ministrys consultant and has drawn up the build-own-operate-transfer (Boot) contract for the scheme.
The pipeline will connect with Iraqs planned new 650-kilometre strategic oil link from Basra in the south to Haditha, which will be tendered and built separately.
