Groupement Isarene—a joint venture of Sonatrach, Petroceltic International PLC, and Enel Trade SPA—has let a contract to CB&I for frontend engineering and design (FEED) services for the Ain Tsila gas field development in Algeria.
The project scope includes FEED development for a grassroots 420-MMcfd gas plant, plus three associated pipelines and well collection. The facility will include a gas processing plant with water separation, condensate and liquefied petroleum gas recovery equipment, gas compression, export pumps, and metering facilities.
Groupment Isarene declared the field commercial in 2012, estimating it to hold a gross resource of 2.1 tcf of sales gas, 67 million bbl of condensate, and 108 million bbl of LPG (OGJ Online, Aug. 14, 2012).
