CB&I Gas Plant For Camisea Expansion

By Anonymous

CB&I has been awarded a lump-sum contract to supply a natural gas processing plant in Malvinas, Peru as part of an expansion of the Camisea natural gas project. CBI’s contract, valued in excess of $45 million, is with Pluspetrol Peru Corporation S.A. as operator on behalf of the licensees Pluspetrol Peru Corporation S.A.; Hunt oil Company of Peru LLC, Sucursal del Peru; SK Corporation, Sucursal Peruana; Tecpetrol del Peru S.A.C. and Sonatrach Peru Corporation.

Contract terms call for CB&I to be responsible for the engineering, procurement, modular fabrication and FAS supply of two cryogenic trains each designed to produce 360 MMscf/d of gas. The units will treat gas extracted from the Pagoreni field to remove water and then separate the heavier hydrocarbons (natural gas liquids) out of the gas stream. The fast-track project schedule calls for delivery of the two cryogenic units one year from contract award.

CB&I has been involved in the Camisea project – one of the key energy infrastructure projects in Latin America since its inception.
