Eni, ONGC sign cooperation agreement
September 2005
MARUBENI-LED GROUP AWARDED SAUDI COGEN, DESAL PROJECT A consortium led by Marubeni Corp and including Japan’s JGC Corp, Itochu Corp and ACWA Power Projects of Saudi Arabia, has successfully concluded negotiations with Saudi Arabian Oil Co and Sumitomo Chemical Co Ltd of Japan to develop a fuel oilfired cogeneration and desalination plant for the Rabigh Refinery and Petrochemical Complex in Saudi Arabia on a build, own, operate and transfer basis. The concession is for an initial term of 25 years. Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical have joined forces to develop one of the world’s largest integrated refining and petrochemical complexes at the Red Sea town of Rabigh on the west coast of Saudi Arabia. The facility will produce 2.2 million tons of olefins, along with large volumes of gasoline and other refined products, annually. The contract for the engineering, procurement and construction of the new cogeneration and desalination plant went to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries on a full turn-key basis. The newly constructed plant is scheduled to start commercial operation in June 2008.
PULP & PAPER METSO PULP BLEACHING SYSTEMS FOR JAPAN, SPAIN Metso Paper is to supply high-consistency ozone bleaching systems worth 30 million to Daio Paper Corp in Japan and Sniace Group in Spain. Metso Paper’s ozone technology enables a considerable reduction in both the amount of effluent and fresh water consumption. As well as the main process machinery, Metso Paper will provide engineering and site services. In Japan, Metso Paper will upgrade Daio Paper’s Mishima mill’s pulp bleaching process. The mill produces 1600 tons of elemental chlorine-free bleached pulp from hardwood daily for its own integrated paper machines. In addition to the ozone bleaching reactors and auxiliary equipment, Metso Paper will also deliver wash presses for pulp washing and pressing to a consistency required for the bleaching process. Metso Paper will also modify Sniace’s Torrelavega mill’s pulp bleaching system. The mill’s daily production will increase from 180 tons to 240 tons of dissolving sulfite pulp. The existing bleaching will be replaced by a chlorine-free bleaching system. The new process will enable a major part of the effluent to be recovered and used for lignin production. Start-ups of the new bleaching lines are scheduled for April 2006 in Japan and for February 2007 in Spain.
CHINA’S HANGZHOU YONGLI LOOKS TO CUT COSTS Kadant Black Clawson Inc has received an order from
Hangzhou Yongli Paper Co Ltd, to provide a complete 120 BDMT/D MOW treatment system for the company’s Zhejiang mill in China. Hangzhou Yongli expects the new system to reduce certain costs associated with virgin pulp processing. The mill produces approximately 200 000 tons of coated whiteboard per year.
OIL & GAS HHI WINS INDONESIAN SUBSEA PIPELINE PROJECT Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has won an US$86 million project from Total Indonesia to build and install a 55km subsea pipeline in the Sisi & Nubi gas field located southeast of Borneo Island by 2007. The turnkey order covers the entire process from engineering, procurement and installation to pre-commissioning of the subsea pipeline. After completing the project, the field’s produced gas will be transported to an on-land plant.
FW AWARDED FEED WORK FOR DELAYED COKING PLANT IN SPAIN BP Oil Refineria de Castellon SA has selected Foster Wheeler USA Corp to supply a process design package for a delayed coking plant based on Foster Wheeler’s Selective Yield Delayed Coking Process for its refinery in Castellon, Spain. The planned facility has a design capacity of 20 000 barrels per stream day. The delayed coker plant is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2008 and is part of BP’s planned reconfiguration
of its Castellon refinery to reduce residual fuel oil production.
ENI, ONGC SIGN COOPERATION AGREEMENT Italy’s Eni and India’s Oil & Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) are to work together to find new exploration and production opportunities. Under an agreement signed by both companies, Eni and ONGC will exchange information on a range of deepwater exploration opportunities in India and in other countries, with a view to exchanging equity interests in selected upstream and midstream projects. The agreement follows Eni’s recent entry into India with the award of two operated exploration blocks.
CB&I WINS UAE GAS PROCESSING PROJECT CB&I has been awarded a US$130 million lump-sum turnkey contract to design and build liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tanks and a pentane tank for a natural gas processing expansion project in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The contract is with Snamprogetti SpA, prime EPC contractor for the owner, Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Ltd (GASCO). CB&I will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction of four 83 600 cubic metre nominal capacity concrete full containment LPG tanks, including foundations and piping to grade. Two tanks will store propane and two will store butane. CB&I will also supply a 76 000 cubic metre nominal capacity atmospheric storage tank for Pentane Plus. Completion of the project is scheduled for mid-2008.
