Snamprogetti signs Bu Hasa contract

08 September 2003
Italy's Snamprogettisigned in late August the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the Bu Hasa production facilities upgrade and reservoirs development project in onshore Abu Dhabi. Snamprogetti was the low bidder at $318 million when revised prices were submitted in May by five companies (MEED 30:5:03).

The scope of works on the 32-month contract includes the construction of a new de-gassification plant with nameplate capacity of 730,000 barrels a day (b/d) and the replacement of the existing two-phase gas separators, each of 50,000 b/d, with four new three-phase separators, each of 120,000 b/d.

The project will also entail the installation of facilities for the reinjection of 95 million cubic feet a day of gas and 120,000 b/d of water into the G, F and D reservoirs. It will tackle a rising water cut and falling reservoir pressure.

The US' Parsons Internationalis acting as project management consultant for the scheme. The client is Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (Adco).
