Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (Orpic) has prequalified 19 companies or consortia to work on four different engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) packages for its proposed $3.6bn Liwa Plastics Industries Complex (LPIC) in Sohar.
The companies have been finalised following prequalifying companies to offer tender for the project in January 2015.
Scope of work under the EPC packages includes construction of steam cracker and polymer units, a natural gas liquids (NGL) extraction unit and an natural gas liquid (NGL) pipeline from Fahud to Sohar.
For the steam cracker unit, Orpic has selected joint venture (JV) CB&I Nederland / Saipem / CTCI Corporation JV Daelim Industrial / Petrofac International Limited Hanwha E&C Corporation, JV Toyo Engineering Corporation / GS Engineering & Construction.
Daelim Industrial JV GS Engineering & Construction / Mitsui JV Linde Engineering Dresden/ ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions JV Saipem / Sinopec Engineering (Group) Tecnimont, have been selected for polymer units.
For natural gas liquids extraction unit, Orpic has finalised Bechtel JV GS Engineering & Construction/ Mitsui Petrofac International Saipem JV SK Engineering & Construction / Larsen & Toubro Hydrocarbon Engineering.
Bechtel Dodsal Engineering & Construction Larsen & Toubro Hydrocarbon Engineering Punj Lloyd Saipem have been finalised for the NGL Pipeline.
Liwa Plastics Industries Complex general manager responsible for the project, Henk Pauw said: "This process is a key milestone to our project.
"All the contractors were required to demonstrate their knowhow on projects with similar size, nature and complexity, along with their international experience with the generation of in-country value considering the legacy that we want to create to Oman."
Orpic is planning to award the EPC packages during the last quarter of 2015.
Liwa Plastics Industries Complex will feature an 800kTA Steam Cracker Unit, high density polyethylene (HDPE) plant, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) plant, polypropylene plant.
