Italy's Saipemis close to being awarded the offshore pipeline package on the Sirri natural gas liquids (NGL) development. Saipem will be assisted on the contract, valued at just under $50 million, by the UAE's Gulf Marine (Gulmar)and the local Petrochemical Industrial Design & Engineering Company (PIDEC- MEED 15:2:02).
The project involves the installation of an 80-kilometre-long, 12-inch-diameter subsea pipeline connecting Sirri to onshore facilities. These will include gas-gathering stations, pipelines and storage units and offshore gas-compression platforms. The work has not yet been awarded.
The Sirri gas-gathering network will have capacity of around 140 million cubic feet a day (cf/d). It is a smaller version of the Kharg Island NGL project, for which no awards have yet been made. However, speed is of the essence as the downstream elements of the project - involving a major petrochemical complex on Kharg Island - are already moving towards construction.
The client for both projects is Iranian Offshore Oil Company (IOOC).
