Mubasher: ENI Iraq B.V. (EIBV) awarded Drake & Scull International (DSI) a AED 226 million contract for the construction of a water injection network installation project at the Zubair oil field in Basra, Iraq, according to a statement.
EIBV, a subsidiary of the Italian oil and gas multinational firm ENI S.p.A., is the lead contractor of the Zubair Project consortium which currently comprises EIBV, Occidental of Iraq and KOGAS Iraq B.V.
Drake and Scull Oil & Gas (DSOG) will oversee the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of a gas supply pipeline system to a power plant in addition to water injection systems consisting of flow lines, trunk lines, manifolds stations and wellheads hook-up work to enhance oil recovery.
Mobilization activity on the project commenced with a scheduled completion of early 2018.
“The contract award has also raised DSI’s total project wins to AED 570 million in very challenging circumstances,” according to Wael Allan, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of DSI.
“EIBV had previously awarded DSOG the EPC pipeline installation contract for the Zubair oil field in 2012 which was successfully completed in 2015 on the strength of our in-house engineering management, procurement and construction capabilities,” DSOG’s managing director Fares Khatib noted.
