STATE-owned explorer Oil and Natural
Gas Corp (ONGC) has given a Euro 100 million contract to French firm
Technip to build an oil and gas terminal at Odalarevu in Andhra
Pradesh.
With a capacity of 6 million standard...
cubic meters per day, the terminal will receive gas from the Maharatna PSU's Vashistha and S1 fields in Bay of Bengal.
The Vashistha and S1 fields are located
30-35 km off the Amalapuram coast in the KG Basin, off the East Coast
at water depths of 250 to 700 meters.
"The onshore terminal awarded to
Technip is one of the critical components of the Integrated
Development of Vashistha and S1 fields," said a Technip
statement.
Technip's scope of work for this
contract includes basic design, detailed engineering, procurement,
fabrication, inspection and testing, installation, pre-commissioning
and commissioning of the new onshore terminal facilities which will
be integrated to the existing terminal.
The hydrocarbons extracted from
Vashistha and S1 deep water offshore fields will be transported to
the proposed onshore oil and gas terminal for processing.
The facility consists of a slug catcher
for well fluid separation, gas compressors, high integrity pressure
protection system (HIPPS), glycol dehydration, dew point control,
mono ethylene glycol regeneration and gas metering system.
It also includes utilities and
off-sites such as air compression, nitrogen generation, flare system,
storage tanks and diesel generators.
Technip's operating centre in Delhi
will manage and execute the project, which is scheduled to be
completed in the second half of 2016.
Nicoletta Giadrossi, president of
Technip, said: "The Vashistha project represents an important
milestone for Technip's operations in India. We will leverage our
long experience and track record in the country to deliver this
project for ONGC, with whom we are looking forward to further
strengthen our strategic collaboration in the future."
