HOUSTON, July 8 -- Burullus Gas Co. has awarded a $300 million contract to Technip-Coflexip for the subsea development of Burullus's Simian-Sienna natural gas fields off Egypt. Burullus is a joint venture of Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Co. (EGAS), British Gas Egypt, and Edison.
Simian field, which lies 114 km off Idku, near Alexandria, in 677-933 m of water, includes two tie-backs to Sienna field and is expected to produce 665 MMscfd of gas to be used as feedstock for the first train of the LNG plant now under construction at Idku.
Under the terms of this contract, Technip-Coflexip will provide the design, engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, testing, and commissioning of the Simian-Sienna subsea facilities. Umbilicals will be fabricated by DUCO, Technip-Coflexip's Newcastle-based subsidiary. Egyptian national subcontractors will perform the design, fabrication, and installation of the platform, Technip-Coflexip reported.
The project's scope includes six subsea Christmas trees, two manifolds (M1 & M2), an electro-hydraulic multiplex control system, and a methanol injection unit supported by a dedicated offshore controls platform. The platform will be supplied by a combined power and communication umbilical from the onshore facility.
The project also includes two main umbilicals, a 4-in. glycol injection pipeline, a 20-in. infield pipeline between M1 and M2, and a 26-in. export pipeline from manifold M1 to be connected into the nearby Scarab-Saffron fields.
The project is scheduled to be completed in March 2005.
