Five priced tenders from international construction companies have been received by Dolphin Energy of which three are reportedly within a competitive range.
They are Consolidated Contractors International (CCC) of Greece; Stroytransgaz (STG) of Russia and Saipem-Snamprogetti of Italy. The award is expected to be finalized by August 1, 2008.
The award for the Taweelah-Fujairah pipeline (TFP) was announced in December 2007. The order went to Salzgitter Mannesmann International, and is worth more than $200 million.
The company noted that some 120,000 tons of X70 48-inch coated line pipe will be supplied in total. Already more than 40% of the pipe lengths have been received, with delivery completion set for spring 2009.
