Foster Wheeler has said that its subsidiary Foster Wheeler International Corporation has been awarded a project management consultancy (PMC) contract by Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Ltd (Gasco) for the development of the world-scale Onshore Gas Development Project (OGD-III) to increase production of condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs) at Habshan, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The terms of the award were not disclosed. The project was included in third-quarter 2004 bookings.
As PMC, Foster Wheeler’s role is to manage the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor whose activities will also include commissioning and final handover of the new OGD-III facilities at Habshan.
The new facilities will recover condensate and NGL from well fluids from the Thamama F gas reservoir. Included in the scope is a new pipeline for transporting NGL to Gasco’s new NGL facilities at Ruwais (the 3rd NGL Train project) for further separation into ethane, propane, butane and C5+ product streams. Lean gas will be re-injected back into the reservoir at Habshan. Stabilised condensate will be pumped to the Ruwais facilities of the Takreer refinery for storage/shipping. Mechanical completion is expected in 2007.
