Hyundai Receives EPC Contract from OOCEP

Hyundai Engineering has received a $480m engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from Oman Oil Company Exploration and Production (OOCEP) for a gas-processing plant in Musandam Governorate.

Hyundai will build a gas separation and oil treatment plant, which will process hydrocarbons from Oman’s West Bukha field, off the coast of the Musandam peninsula.

The project is expected to be completed in 36 months, reports omanobserver.om.

OOCEP CEO Salim al Sibani said the Musandam gas plant is part of a major integrated development that includes the West Bukha field, interlink pipelines, crude storage, export facilities and a gas-fired power plant.

“The project will act as the foundation for additional oil and gas developments,” Sibani said.
