Scope

rhi was initially awarded the offshore contract in 2012 to provide estimating support, development of RFPs for module fabrication and early works evaluation of bids. Since then, our continued support has developed, our team has been involved in over 20+ contracts including the offset of module fabrication through to current M, E&I construction at site.

The project will help to increase crude oil production, while a wellhead pressure management project will keep the existing plants at full capacity by lowering the flowing pressure at the wellhead and then boosting the pressure to the inlet requirements of the six existing processing trains. This project is being built with modules, which are fabricated, assembled and pre-commissioned at fabrication yards in Kazakhstan, South Korea and Italy and then transported to the plant.

The project scope includes additional wells, gathering system expansion, pressure boost facility, oil stabilization and has dehydration facilities, sour gas re-injection facilities, power generation, utilities and infrastructure (camp, roads etc.).

rhi is currently supporting the project via site teams in onsite at client's location & via offshore teams in UK, Singapore, Perth, Houston & Calgary.
