Avingtrans has secured a $2mn contract with JGC Gulf International Co. Ltd – a contractor of Saudi Aramco – to supply gas treatment packages.
Aramco is developing infrastructure for processing shale formation gas (unconventional gas) from the Jalamid field in the Al-Jouf and Northern Border Regions in the northwest part of Saudi Arabia.
“The challenges faced by the oil and gas industries are well documented but this contract, our first shale gas project, demonstrates that new business opportunities are available for companies with the recognised experience and expertise necessary to design and build performance critical components,” Austen Adams, managing director of Avingtrans’ Energy and Medical division, said.
“We are delighted to be supplying Saudi Aramco on this shale gas project and we look forward to working with them in the future.
The first phase of this project (System “A”) will involve gathering gas from the ST-53A area of these fields, routing it to an engineered surface facility location, then transporting it about 30km via pipeline to a customer.
The contract with JGC Gulf International covers the initial four gas treatment separation & filtration packages in System A.
System B of the Project will be EPC tendered in Q2 2016, requiring four times the number of packages as System A.
As well as bidding for System B, Maloney Metalcraft also anticipates the opportunity to pursue additional gas processing equipment work.
