The award of the Shah project’s Early Works Package to Al Jaber Energy Services Company signals the beginning of what will ultimately be a new benchmark for the gas processing and sulphur recovery industries worldwide, the organisers of SOGAT 2010 have stated.
One of the key papers to be presented at SOGAT 2010 focuses on the challenge of transporting 10,000 tonnes of sulphur per day from the main plant in the large dunes 180 km south east of Abu Dhabi to a new sulphur terminal in Ruwais.
The presentation will include the unique combination of engineering design, material selection and construction methodology that will lead to a successful Shah liquid sulphur transportation project using a hot water jacketed pipeline, and is co-authored by Ken Lunsford of the new company, Abu Dhabi Gas Development Company Limited, and Nick Lenstra from WorleyParsons.
Abu Dhabi Gas Development Company Limited was established by Emiri Decree last month and Saif Ahmed Al Ghafli, Chief Executive Officer of the new company, will be delivering the keynote address for SOGAT 2010.
