Larsen Toubro Arabia is among the multiple joint ventures of L&T in the high growth markets of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
The contract is to set up gas processing facilities for the Midyan Gas Fields, with a capacity to treat 75 MMSCFD (million standard cubic feet per day) of gas and 4,500 barrels per day (BPD) of condensate, and the laying of over 90 km of gas and condensate product pipelines. The project is scheduled to be completed in 37 months.
The prestigious contract is part of L&T’s strategic growth plan in the international hydrocarbon sector. In a statement, L&T said it has been clocking strides in engineering and construction in the international market through the delivery of its turnkey solutions and services.
The concept for the Midyan gas processing facilities project is to collect gas and process it in a modular gas plant, and export treated gas to a proposed power plant in a location approximately 90 km from Midyan.
In the past, L&T has worked for establishing onshore gas processing complexes for Reliance Industries Ltd at Kakinada, Cairn Energy at Barmer and gas treatment projects at Uran and Hazira for ONGC.
