LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1 -- Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Ltd. has awarded a $610 million lump sum turnkey contract to Technip, Paris, to engineer and install gas compressor stations and associated facilities at Das Island in the UAE.

Technip's operations and engineering center in Abu Dhabi will execute the contract. Completion is scheduled for fourth quarter 2009.

The plant's facilities, which include compressor and booster stations and fuel gas treatment and gas dehydration units, will treat 211 MMscfd of associated gas produced by fields off Abu Dhabi.

Technip said the project would be configured predominately in large-scale process system modules and interconnecting racks that will be manufactured and assembled at construction yards before being transported and erected at Das Island, where ADGAS operates liquefaction capacity exceeding 5 million tonnes/year.
