Fluor has announced that its joint venture, Fluor WorleyParsons Arctic Solutions, has been awarded an engineering contract by Denali-The Alaska Gas Pipeline, for its gas treatment plant.
The engineering contract is a preliminary front-end engineering and design effort (pre-FEED) that will be led from the firm’s Alaska operations center and will increase Alaska-based engineering and technical resources.
According to the company, the contract covers the services required during the initial design phase of the project for the gas treatment plant (GTP). Major contract elements include technical studies, development of the project design basis, project execution planning, cost estimating, schedule development and other services.
The GTP, to be located on Alaska’s North Slope, is an essential part of Denali’s overall project. It will remove CO2, water, hydrogen sulfide and other impurities from the gas before it is shipped in the pipeline. It will also provide initial gas chilling and compression. The GTP will have process modules weighing up to 9,000 tons, said the company.
Denali—The Alaska Gas Pipeline LLC is planning for the construction of a pipeline to deliver 4 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day from the North Slope of Alaska to markets in the Lower 48, Alaska and Canada.
Headquartered in Irving, Texas, Fluor Corporation provides services on a global basis in the fields of engineering, procurement, construction, operations, maintenance and project management.
