PROJECTS THAT MATTER AL-ZOUR NORTH IWPP Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to build a gas-fired independent water and power project (IWPP) with a capacity of 1,500 MW of power and 102 MIGD of desalinated water at Al-Zour North. Client: PTB Kuwait Country: Kuwait Budget: 3,000,000,000 Ref Number: MPP2403-K Contractors: GDF Suez (France); Sumitomo Corporation (Kuwait); Abdullah Hamad Al Sagar & Brothers Company (Kuwait) Remarks: It is understood that the financial close on this scheme has been delayed and is now expected by the end of June 2013. Work is progressing on incorporating a Public Joint Stock Company (PJSC) in Kuwait to own the plant. This company will eventually be floated on the local stock market. However, signing of the project documentation and financing agreements will not occur until after a parliamentary investigation into the award of the project has been completed. This could potentially put back financial close on the project by several months. With the Holy Month of Ramadan due to commence in early July 2013, there are concerns that the project timetable could slip back significantly if it does not reach financial close before the end of this month.

PROJECTS THAT MATTER
COMMON SEAWATER SUPPLY PROJECT Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to build Common Seawater Supply Project (CSSP) including a seawater treatment plant, intended to process 5.2 million barrels a day (b/d) of treated seawater, with expansion up to 12 million b/d. Client: Ministry of Oil (Iraq) Country: Iraq Budget: 12,000,000,000 Ref Number: Remarks: Client is set to tender a series of surveys and design tender for this scheme. South Oil Company (SOC), a subsidiary of the client, is reviewing tender for new high-priority surveys that could be launched in early April 2013. It is currently conducting surveys to define the route and establish right of way. Routes to the Majnoon and West Qurna-2 fields are still under evaluation. High-priority surveys are expected to be awarded in June 2013. Project manager CH2M Hill will carry out basic designs for the early works, once the route is defined. The surveys will be followed by contracts for the front-end engineering and design (FEED) service of treatment facility and pipeline to carry water to oil fields for injection. Tender documents for the FEED work are being prepared. During FEED stage, optimum size of the treatment facilities trains will be examined. This is hoped to take advantage of economies of scale, while also staying small enough to provide operational flexibility and accommodate different-sized modules. Scheme will cater to the various requirements of (5) fields in phase 1 with another (3) fields in Phase 2. Designs are expected to be completed by September 2014 and EPC contract awards are anticipated in early 2015 with facility expected to commence operations in mid-2017. The main consultants for the project are Fluor Corporation (USA) and Mott MacDonald (UK).
