JGC awarded gas pipeline, storage tank construction project in Bahrain

JGC Corp.’s affiliated company in Saudi Arabia, JGC Gulf International Co., has been awarded a contract for a gas pipeline and storage tank construction project in Awali, Bahrain, planned by the Bahrain National Gas Expansion Company (BNGEC). The contract covers engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) services for gas pipeline and gas storage tank construction. The project is scheduled for completion in September, 2018. 

The value of the lump-sum turnkey basis contract is approximately $97 MM.

This project is intended to construct feed gas and product gas transfer pipelines and product gas storage tanks to be used for the gas processing plant for which JGC signed a construction contract with BNGEC in January, 2016. The produced oil component gases (LPG and naphtha) shipped from the storage facilities will be exported from Bahrain. The construction of these facilities is expected to contribute to the further economic growth of Bahrain.          

Since two gas processing plants were constructed for Bahrain National Gas Company (BANAGAS) in the 1970s and 1980s, JGC has been continuing to execute a considerable number of projects in Bahrain. Since its establishment in 2008, JGC Gulf International has also executed more than ten projects in Bahrain including the execution of compressor station expansion work and existing facility revamp work for BANAGAS.  

The Middle East including Bahrain is one of the most important markets for JGC which has accumulated extensive experience in this area. In Bahrain, several oil refining projects are planned in the future. JGC will continue to be active in developing business activities in the Middle East in collaboration with JGC Gulf International.
