| Amec wins oil and gas services contract in the Philippines Amec, the international project management and services company, has been awarded three-year extension to its oil and gas asset support services contract by Shell Philippines Exploration for the Malampaya gas field in the Philippines. Under the contract Amec will provide operational support to a production platform offshore of Palawan island, an onshore gas plant at Batangas near the Philippines capital, Manila, and a 500-kilometre pipelines running between the plant and the platform. It also covers services to living quarters, offices and warehouses at the Batangas supply base. Amec has provided support services to the Malampaya deep-water gas-to-power development since 2000. The $4.5 billion (£3.1 bn) development, a co-venture between Shell, Chevron and the Philippines National Oil Company, is the biggest single industrial investment in the country’s history. It marked the start of the Philippines’ natural gas industry and is estimated to provide enough gas to generate 30 per cent of the country’s electricity until 2022. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
