MANILA, the Philippines – Fluor Offshore Solutions has won an engineering, procurement, and construction support contract for Phase 3 of the Malampaya Deepwater Gas-to-Power project.
This is being conducted on behalf of the Philippine government by the Service Contract 38 consortium comprising of operatorShell Philippines Exploration, Chevron Malampaya, and Philippine National Oil Co. Exploration Corp.
About 40% of power consumed on the main island of Luzon is generated by power plants fed by Malampaya gas.
Malampaya Phase 3 involves design, fabrication, and installation of a new depletion compression platform bridge-linked to the existing shallow-water platform.
Fluor is responsible for engineering and procurement for the new platform and for modifications to the shallow-water facility. Additionally, the company is responsible for freight forwarding, material management for onshore fabrication and offshore installation, and preparation of work scopes for transportation and installation.
The project is being performed locally from Fluor’s centers in Manila and Cebu and at a local fabrication yard in the Philippines. All work should be completed in 2015.
Fluor previously provided engineering services for the existing shallow-water platform from 2000 to 2006, and more recently conducted a hazard and operability analysis for the Malampaya project.
