AAEM has won a contract to supply turbine hall equipment for Units 1 to 4 of the El Dabaa nuclear power station. The contract was awarded by DEZ JSC, acting on behalf of Atomstroyexport JSC, a general contractor for the El Dabaa project.
Established in 2007, AAEM is a JV between Atomenergomash, the power engineering division of Russian group Rosatom and General Electric (GE).
As per the terms of the deal, the JV will be responsible for the design, manufacture and supply of four sets of steam turbines, condensers, generators and select auxiliary equipment. The company will also be responsible for technical field advisory services during the erection and commissioning of supplied equipment at the NPP site. Over 50% of the equipment will be manufactured in Russia as per the deal.
Engineering for the Petroleum & Process Industries (Enppi) has signed an agreement with Technip and Assiut National Oil Processing Company (ANOPC) to begin preparations for the construction of the mazut hydrogen cracking complex, Egypt Oil & Gas reported.
The $1.9 billion complex is a part of the development of the Assiut Refining Company (ASORC), itself a part of the Ministry of Petroleum’s strategy to secure local demand for petroleum products.
Oil and gas giant Total (www.total.com) has made a large gas discovery at its Glendronach field, near Shetland.
The company said that initial tests on the prospect indicated good reservoir quality, permeability and well production deliverability.
The total capacity of the Glendronach prospect is estimated to be around one trillion ft3 of gas.
The field could also be developed quickly at low cost by linking it to the existing infrastructure of the nearby Edradour field.
Total said the discovery will extend the life of the West of Shetland infrastructure and production hub. This includes the Laggan, Tormore, Edradour and Glenlivet fields, plus the Shetland Gas plant, all of which contribute about 7% of the UK’s gas consumption.
