UnaE&C wins Basrah Gas contract

Iraq-based Basrah Gas Company (BGC) has awarded UnaE&C Iraq, an engineering and construction subsidiary of Unaoil Group, a contract for the rehabilitation of West Qurna compressor stations CS7 and CS8 at West Qurna, Iraq.

BGC is a joint venture between state-run South Gas Company of Iraq (51 per cent), Shell (44 per cent) and Mitsubishi (5 per cent), said a company statement.

The project will enable flared associated gas generated from Degassing Stations DGS7 and DGS8 in West Qurna to be collected, compressed and dehydrated prior to being sent via pipeline to the downstream gas treatment plant at North Rumaila NGL Plant for further processing, it added.

UnaE&C’s scope of work includes project management, procurement, fabrication, installation and construction of the related works. Unaoil’s operating centres in Dubai and Basra will support the project execution at West Qurna.

Cyrus Ahsani, CEO of Unaoil Group, said: “This is an excellent opportunity for Unaoil to utilise our local capabilities and deliver this important project to the high international standards expected by BGC.”
