US firm wins Algeria gas project design

6 March 2023

The front-end engineering and design (feed) contract for a gas project in Algeria has been provisionally awarded to the Chicago-headquartered engineering contractor Exp Services.

The contract was awarded by Groupement Reggane, a consortium comprised of the Algerian national oil and gas company Sonatrach, Spain’s Repsol, Germany’s Wintershall Dea and the US-based energy company Edison.

The contract is worth $2,045,622 and has a duration of 24 months, according to a statement published by Baosem.

Baosem is a subsidiary of the Sonatrach and Sonelgaz groups that specialises in publishing energy sector tender information.

Groupement Reggane acts as an operator for the development and exploitation of the Reggane Nord field, located 1,500 kilometres southwest of Algiers.

The scope of the contract includes the provision of a conceptualisation study and feed services for the installation of two booster compression units.

Exp Services was selected because it submitted the lowest financial offer among the technically qualified offers, according to the statement.

Baosem said that any bidder who disputed the selection of Exp Services could lodge an appeal with Groupement Reggane within five working days from the date of publication of the provisional award.

When the main contract for the Reggane Nord compression boosters project is tendered, it is likely to use the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) model. The main contract is expected to have a value of around $200m.
