Foster Wheeler Awarded PMS Contract by ONGC in India

Foster Wheeler Energy Limited has been awarded a project management services contract by the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) for a grassroots facility associated with the removal of ethane, propane and butane from liquefied natural gas to be constructed at Dahej, Gujarat, northwest India.

Foster Wheeler's scope of work will include project management, quality assurance, evaluation of technical bids for the engineering, procurement and construction phase, review of process design, review of basic and detailed design, and provision of site supervision services as required during EPC execution and commissioning.

This unique facility will extract ethane, propane and butane as separate liquid streams from rich liquefied natural gas taken from the Petronet LNG receiving terminal located next to the new facility. The facility will initially be constructed with a single train of five million tonnes per annum capacity. Future expansion can be achieved by the addition of a second train. The project is scheduled for completion in 2007. The extracted products will be used as feedstock for ONGC's proposed petrochemical complex.

Foster Wheeler worked with Petronet LNG as project management consultant, assisting the client to complete, on schedule, the detailed design, procurement, construction and commissioning phases of the new Petronet LNG regasification terminal, India's first. It came on stream successfully in February 2004. ONGC is an investor in the Petronet LNG terminal.
