Expro awarded $30-million production contract in India
READING, United Kingdom -- Expro has been awarded a contract worth over $30 million with the Hindustan Oil Exploration Company (HOEC) for Dirok gas field in India.
The project will see Expro provide the design, engineering, construction, transportation, installation and commissioning of a modular gas processing plant (MGPP), which will fulfill the requirement of a fast-track early production system as well as long-term operational goals. The facility is designed to process up to 35 MMscfgd with associated liquid condensates.
Keith Palmer, president, Production and Asia, Expro, said, “This project is a significant milestone for Expro as it marks our first ever contract in India for the provision of a fast-track modular gas processing plant on a lease, operate and maintain basis.”
Expro will supply personnel to operate and maintain the MGPP to assist HOEC in maximizing gas and condensate production from the field over the long-term.
P.R Krishna, asset manager, HOEC, said, “Once the plant is commissioned, it will be the first such plant in India specifically suited to the eco-sensitive and logistically challenging northeastern region.”
Dirok field, in the Assam-Arakan basin, covers a development area of 110 km2 in northeastern India close to the town of Digboi.
