State-owned Sonatrach has let a contract to Larsen & Toubro Ltd. subsidiary L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering (LTHE) to provide engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning services for three central gas processing plants near to each other in southwest Algeria’s Adrar Province.

The contract specifies that LTHE will deliver EPCC for a 6-million cu m/day plant at Hassi Ba Hamou and Reg Mouaded field, a 4-million cu m/day plant at Hassi Tidjerane field, and a 4-million cu m/day plant at Tinerkouk field, Larsen & Toubro said.

Each of the central processing plant modules, which will be fabricated in-house to achieve standardization across the fields, will be equipped with separation, compression system, mercury removal, gas dehydration, and hydrocarbon dewpoint control capabilities.

Larsen & Toubro valued the lump-sum turkey EPCC contract, which also covers off-site installations and utilities for the plants, at more than 70 billion rupees.

Further details regarding the central processing sites—including timeframes for their commissioning—were not disclosed.
