ABB has won a US$100 million contract to construct a gas condensate processing plant for Petroleum Development Oman (PDO)
The power and automation technology firm will dominate management over the engineering, procurement, and construction of the Saih Nihayda Condensate Stabilisation Plant (SNCSP), which will have an expected capacity of 4,500 cubic metres of processed gas condensate per day upon completion by the end of 2014.
ABB head of process automation division, Veli-Matti Reinikkala, commented, “This contract underscores ABB’s trusted technology leadership to deliver full-scope projects to our oil and gas customers.
“Our industry expertise and global and local resources will help this project to be implemented and operated successfully, from design to start-up,” he added.
The new plant will be situated close to the already established Saih Nihayda gas plant in the northern part of PDO’s concession area of the Sultanate and will act as a backup facility to the plant.
SNCSP forms part of PDO’s intention to strengthen and ensure continued gas flows from its primary production facilities in the northern region of Oman.
