Engineering services giant Technip has been awarded a contract by Total in Brunei, valued at between 50million to 100million euros (£41million to £82million).
The engineering, procurement, supply, construction and commissioning (ESPCC) deal covers the modification of onshore gas facilities for the Maharaja Lela Jamalulalam South (MLJS) prospect as well as the construction of a new onshore pipeline to the Brunei Liquefied Natural Gas (BLNG) plant.
The contract will be executed by Technip’s Kuala Lumpur operating centre and is due for completion in the second half of 2015.
“Following the front-end engineering design that we have completed in 2012, Technip was keen on undertaking the EPSCC contract,” said Lim Kwee Keong, senior vice president of Technip in Asia Pacific.
“Vital for the brownfield tie-in of the MLJS project, our familiarity with the onshore facilities has made the difference and gave us leverage in this much sought-after development.”
Currently, the 1999 Maharaja Lela Jamalulalam gas field produces 28,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed).
With the Maharaja Lela Jamalulalam South Expansion project, the Brunei Sultanate expects to double the production of the Brunei LNG plant.
Total is the operator with a 37.5% interest, with Shell (35%) and Petroleum Brunei (27.5%) holing the remaining shares.
