Projects Group is responsible for the execution and management of all major projects of GASCO. It is an integrated team, which provides the entire range of services including Project Management, Project Engineering, Project Controls, Contracting & Procurement, Quality Assurance and HSE for all the projects, right from Conceptual stage up to Commissioning/Startup.
All projects progress through three distinct stages of implementation. During the initial stage of the project, techno-economic feasibility study (Pre-FEED) is carried out to determine the fundamental aspects of the project. This is followed by the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) stage to evaluate the technical options, perform the basic design, define fully the project scope and verify the project economics before seeking competitive tenders for the execution phase. The third stage is the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) stage, before commissioning and handover of the installations to Operations.
Over the recent years several major projects have been completed by GASCO. These include Asab Gas Development Phase I (2000), Ruwais Upgrading Project including Digital Control System (2001), Maqta-Jabel Ali Gas pipeline project (2002), Onshore Gas Development Phase II (2002), Bu Hasa Integrated Control System (2005), Habshan Ethane Recovery Maximization (2005), Asab / Bab Integrated Control Systems (2007) and Bu Hasa Upgrade Project (2008), apart from various other major Pipeline Projects.
Several major projects as listed below, totaling in excess of US$ 6 Billion investment are currently under EPC execution and are slated for completion progressively during the years 2008/2009.
