Technip, a French engineering company, has been awarded a €100-million (about ₹800 crore) contract by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) to build a 6 million standard cubic feet per day onshore terminal at Odalarevu in Andhra Pradesh.
This project is part of the Integrated Development of Vashishta (VA) & S1 fields, located 30-35 km off the Amalapuram coast in the KG Basin.
The onshore terminal awarded is one of the critical components of the development of these fields.
The scope of work for this contract includes basic design, detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, inspection and testing, installation, and commissioning of the onshore terminal facilities, which will be integrated to the existing terminal.
Milestone
“The Vashistha project represents an important milestone for Technip’s operations in India.
“We will leverage our experience and track record in the country to deliver this project for ONGC, with whom we are looking forward to further strengthen our strategic collaboration in the future,” Nicoletta Giadrossi, Technip’s regional President, said in a statement.
Processing
The hydrocarbons extracted from the VA and S1 deep water offshore fields will be transported to the onshore terminal for processing.
The facility consists of a slug catcher for well fluid separation, gas compressors, high integrity pressure protection system, and a gas metering system.
Samik Mukherjee, Managing Director and Country Head of Technip in India, said: “In recent years, this is our second contract from ONGC following the Heera Redevelopment process platform project.
“This reinforces our position as a partner of choice across the value chain from offshore to onshore activities, supported by our strong portfolio of technologies, skilled resources and project management skills.”
Technip’s operating centre in Delhi will manage and execute the project, which is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2016.
