Mozambique Compression Work Let
Sasol Petroleum International has awarded an engineering, procurement and construction management contract a low pressure gas compression project at Temane field in Mozambique.
Foster Wheeler’s Global Engineering and Construction Group will perform the work, which will enable Sasol to maintain the design throughput and pressure as the gas field declines.
The contract includes the procurement of gas turbine-driven low pressure compressors plus auxiliary equipment, including inlet gas scrubbing equipment and discharge air coolers, a new substation, modifications to an existing substation, additional instrument air and nitrogen facilities. Commissioning of the new facilities is expected in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Temane field, which is 375 miles (600 km) north of Maputo, began production in 2004. It supplies a gas pipeline to South Africa, as well as local needs. Reserves are estimated at 1 Tcf (28.3 x 109 m3).
