SNC-Lavalin has announced the award of a contract to its subsidiary, Kentz, to build a new ExxonMobil oil processing facility in Iraq. This oil processing facility will be designed to increase ExxonMobil’s production at its West Qurna 1 oil field in Iraq. Kentz, with its regional partner, will provide the front-end engineering design (FEED), detailed design engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, commissioning and start-up of the new facility, capable of producing an annual average of 100,000 stock tank barrels of crude oil per day.
The new facility, located in the province of Al Basra, will be designed to process full well stream fluids from the production wellhead area and separate them into associated gas, untreated produced water, and stable product crude for export.
The project will be executed out of SNC’s Abu Dhabi engineering hub, with support from its Dubai operations and is expected to be completed in 26 months.
