“The Angel contract award is a further indication of the strength of the partnership approach we employ,” WorleyParsons chief executive officer John Grill said.
“We are delighted to be involved in this very important asset development for [north West Shelf operator] Woodside and its partners. The award of the Angel contract builds on the continuing strong relationship between the WorleyParsons Group and Woodside including the Transfield Services-WorleyParsons-Woodside integrated services contract, and design of the offshore platform and onshore plant for the Blacktip gas development.”
The FEED contract is part of the development of the Angel gas field off Karratha in Western Australia.
The FEED contract will refine the engineering for a remotely operated processing platform with three sub-sea wells. Hydrocarbons will be produced through one processing train capable of producing 800 million standard cubic feet of gas a day and 50,000 barrels of condensate a day.
The gas and condensate will be sent from Angel via a new pipeline connected to one of the existing 135km offshore trunklines to the North West Shelf Venture’s onshore gas plant, near Karratha.
The North West Shelf Venture is expected to consider final approval of the Angel development in the second half of 2005 and Woodside has announced that a decision will be taken at that time to extend the contract with the Eos Joint Venture into an engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contract.
