Adnoc invites bidders for sulphur plant project

15 Jun 2010

(MENAFN) Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., the state-owned oil and gas producer known as Adnoc, said that it has invited 18 construction firms to bid for building a sulphur granulation plant at the Shah natural gas development, Khaleej Times reported.

Abu Dhabi is developing its sour, or high-sulphur, gas reserves as domestic power consumption soars, and has already awarded most construction contracts related to the project. Sour gas is more expensive to produce because potentially lethal sulphur must be separated and processed for sale.

The oil producer last month said Abu Dhabi Gas Development Co., its operating unit for the project, awarded almost $5.6 billion (in engineering and construction contracts for the Shah deposit.

The company abandoned a plan to build a 250-kilometre pipeline to transport liquid sulphur to the coast after deeming the technology too demanding and costly.
