NPCC To Build $683 Million Pipeline In UAE

Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) awarded a contract worth $US683 million to state-owned National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC) for a 595-mile pipeline in the United Arab Emirates.

NPCC will perform the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the pipeline as well as production well tie-ins and flowlines that will connect the field to four new production facilities.

The project is expected to take about 30 months to increase production of the Bab field from 1.4 MMbp/d to 1.8 MMbp/d.
