MONTREAL, July 24, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin
(TSX: SNC) has been awarded a contract by Brahms Oil Refineries
Limited to undertake a front-end engineering design (FEED)
conversion to EPC contract for a 10,000 barrel per day crude oil
refinery in Kamsar, Guinea. The
FEED will provide a budget cost estimate to obtain a final
investment decision (FID) for the project in the third quarter of
2017.
SNC-Lavalin's scope for this phase of the work includes project
management, coordination and management of the process licensor,
management of the geotechnical and topographic survey contractors,
preliminary engineering and procurement, as well as estimating
services and EPC execution plan for the complete grassroots
refinery, including the tank farm and marine works required for
import of crude oil by ship. The contract signed to date is for the
short form FEED, with a process to agree a phased development of
the project ultimately into an EPC project following FID
approval.
"We are delighted to be working with Brahms Oil Refineries on
the first refinery to be built in Guinea to process West African crude oil,"
commented Martin Adler, President,
Oil & Gas. "This project allows us to demonstrate our expertise
in modular design and supports our objective to grow our business
in downstream oil and gas. We look forward to helping our client
achieve FID and progressing to the EPC phase of the project."
The plant will be designed to produce diesel, gasoline and jet A
fuel to be sold to the local Guinean market.
Brahms Oil Refineries Limited is a private company focused on
developing downstream projects aimed at contributing to the
