PT Tripatra wins $316 million contract<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (Antara): PT Tripatra Engineers and Constructors has
\nbeen awarded a contract worth US$316 million to build a liquefied
\nnatural gas (LNG) production facility for Mobil Exploration in
\nArun, Lhokseumawe, Aceh province.<\/p>\n
The contract to construct the North Sumatera Offshore \"A\" (NSO
\nA) plant was signed here Tuesday.<\/p>\n
According to Tripatra president Pandri Prabowo, construction
\nof the project would be carried out in three stages.<\/p>\n
Firstly, building of an offshore production platform,
\nsecondly, construction of a marine pipeline, and the last stage
\nwill involve the building of an onshore gas purification plant.<\/p>\n
The 5,500-ton offshore platform will be erected in a depth of
\n108 meters in a location 100 kilometers northeast of Lhokseumawe.<\/p>\n
The gas produced by the platform will be transported through
\nthe 100 km pipeline to the purification plant for processing into
\nliquefied natural gas.<\/p>\n
The plant will have a production capacity of 450 million cubic
\nfeet per day (cfg\/d), and the by products, including sulphur,
\nwill reach 236 tons per day.<\/p>\n
At the NSO A project several other sophisticated equipment
\nwill also be installed, like a distribution control system (DCS)
\nwhich will control and monitor the activities of the offshore
\nplatform from the land, he said.<\/p>\n
Pandri said the LNG produced by NSO A, scheduled to be
\noperational in July 1999, will be added to the current LNG
\nproduced in Arun.<\/p>\n
Under the contract, Tripatra acted as main contractor in
\ncooperation with PT Mc Dermott Indonesia and Toyo Engineering
\nCorp. of Japan.<\/p>\n
The \"turn-key\" project is the third major contract awarded to
\nTripatra under a production sharing contract between Mobil
\nExploration and the state oil company Pertamina.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Tripatra signed a contract with Mobil to build an
\nArun Booster Compression unit worth $US326 million and a similar
\nproject in southern Lhokseumawe valued at $US36
\nmillion.<\/p>",
