A wholly owned subsidiary of L&T dedicated to oil & gas, L&T Hydrocarbon has been awarded a contract worth around $846 million (KWD 239.7 million) to undertake an entire engineering, procurement and construction contract for a gathering centre for the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), a subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) and fully owned by the state of Kuwait.

Situated in north Kuwait, the oil gathering facilities will get crude from the Raudhatain fields.

The gathering centre is devised for a multi-stage process that will separate 100,000 barrels a day of crude oil, 240,000 barrels a day of water and 62.5 million square cubic feet a day of related gas to match up the quality needs of downstream operations.

The scope of L&T’s project involves project management, detailed engineering, procurement, construction, supply, testing, mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning support including performance testing.

KOC’s long term strategy for the development of the North Kuwait fields to raise oil production to one million barrels of oil a day by 2015/2016, will be supported by the new facilities.

L&T bagged the contract against tough competition from European and Korean EPC majors. It denotes an important step ahead in L&T’s strategic growth plan in the international hydrocarbon sector.

L&T’s performance till date in Kuwait covers involves critical sections of oil refineries at Shuaiba and Mina Abdullah, an aviation fuel depot and supply of 22 reactors that were part of the nation’s Clean Fuel Programme.
