MEED magazine reported that 6 Kuwaiti contracting companies submitted bids for the tender floated by the Kuwait Oil Company for the oil flow line project located in western Kuwait.
The information obtained by the magazine indicates that the list of companies that submitted their bids include Mechanical engineering and contracting company, Combined Group Contracting Company, Hesco company, HOT Engineering and Construction Company, Al-Jazirah International Group Company for General Trading and Contracting and Al-Ghanim Int’l General Trading and Contracting Company, reports a local Arabic daily.
The magazine indicated that the scope of work in the project includes the implementation of the following works:
— Construction of gas flow lines
— Installation of hot line extensions
— Installing valves
— Installation of surface safety valves, control system and panels
— Installing booster pumps
The civil works include:
— Pipe works
— Manufacturing business
In the oil and gas industry, flowlines are pipelines that connect a single wellhead to a manifold or process equipment, the magazine said.
In petroleum installations and large oil and gas fields, multiple flowlines may connect individual wells to a manifold, and flowlines are used in onshore and offshore fields and may be extended over land, or buried underground.
MEED concluded by saying that between 2020 and 2021, the Kuwait Oil Company issued tenders for a large number of pipeline projects, the value of which ranged between $50 million and $250 million each.
While a large number of these small project contracts have seen significant progress, many of the more ambitious projects in Kuwait have been subject to severe delays and very few major projects have been tendered.
