Conoco Inc and its joint venture partner Elf Aquitaine have been awarded a US$160 million contract to a US unit of Kvaerner A/S to plan and build natural gas processing plants for a gas recovery project in Syria’s eastern desert. Plans call for the joint venture to develop the Deir Ez Zor project in Syria to gather, process and transport gas that has been flared in oil fields around the city of Deir Ez Zor. The contract awarded to Houston-based Kvaerner ENC involves building a plant capable of processing about 450 million ft3 of gas per day and six compressor stations on the accompanying 160 km gathering system. It will also build a 241 km transport pipeline connecting the plant to Syria’s national pipeline grid. Initial construction is expected to begin later this month. Plans call for the pipeline to carry 150 million ft3 of processed gas per day to an existing delivery system that connects to the major population centers in western Syria, including the capital city of Damascus. The remaining processed gas will be reinjected for future use.

BP AMOCO AND SONATRACH TO DEVELOP SAHARA GAS FOR EUROPE BP Amoco and the Algerian state company, Sonatrach, are to go ahead with the development of a US$2.5 billion complex of gas fields in the Sahara Desert in central Algeria which will supply nine billion m3 of gas per

year to the markets of Southern Europe. First deliveries of gas from the seven In Salah fields, 1200 km south of Algiers, are due in 2003. The decision to develop In Salah follows a three year exploration and appraisal programme which established reserves of more than 7.5 trillion ft3 of high-quality gas in the seven fields, with additional volumes identified in adjacent reservoirs.

INDUSTRY JOINS FORCES ON NIGERIAN PROJECT Four international engineering contractors have joined forces to work on the second phase of a project to design and build one of the world’s largest liquefied natural gas plants in Nigeria. The TSKJ partnership, including Technip of France, Snamprogetti of Italy, Kellogg Brown & Root of the USA and JGC of Japan, is designing and building a third train with associated facilities. The first phase of the project was completed in 1999, with the construction of a two-train LNG plant. The project site is located offshore Port Harcourt in Bonny Island, and has the 10th largest proven gas reserves in the world.

BROWN & ROOT WINS TOTALFINA CONTRACT Brown & Root AOC, the Aberdeen, UK, based production services arm of Halliburton’s Brown & Root Energy Services, has been awarded a two year 6520 million contract by TotalFina to cover engineering, construction and support services for a range of modifications on TotalFina’s Alwyn North, Dunbar and MCP-01 offshore facilities.

The services include conceptual design, frontend engineering and design, detail design, procurement, fabrication, construction and installation.

FUNDING BOOSTS PRODUCTION FROM NIGERIAN FIELD Shell Capital and Baker Hughes have signed a US$19.1 million loan facility with Amni International Petroleum Development Co, an indigenous Nigerian company to redevelop and increase production from the Ima Field, in shallow waters offshore Nigeria. The funds will be used to drill two further development wells and two side-track wells alongside wells which have suffered bore damage. The project could increase field production by six to eight thousand barrels of condensate a day double the current production.

PRAXAIR AND ZENTOX TO SAVE WATER A system to clean and reuse almost 1514 m3 of water per day will be installed at Fieldale Farms’ Murrayville, Georgia, USA, poultry processing plant by Praxair Inc and Zentox Corp. The agreement for the installation and operation of the water reuse system will allow Fieldale Farms to capture, cleanse and return I .5 m3 per minute of water for reuse in operations throughout the plant. The ability to reuse water is important to the many processors whose need for water often exceeds the volume available to them from the local supply.
