M&R subsidiaries land major deals
MURRAY & Roberts subsidiaries Clough and CH-IV International have secured contracts in the oil and gas sectors in South Korea and the US.
The group said yesterday that Samsung Heavy Industries had awarded Australia-based Clough a contract for “hook-up services” between the well and flow line on the giant Ichthys liquid natural gas (LNG) project in Australia. Ichthys is run by Japanese energy group Inpex. “We are very pleased with these awards‚ considering the low oil price and current pressure on the global oil and gas market‚” Murray & Roberts group chief executive Henry Laas said.
The scope of work includes the preparation and execution of offshore hook-up activities.
Project management will be executed from Clough’s office in Perth‚ with the technical support of Clough’s South Korean joint venture.
“The Ichthys LNG project follows on a strong relationship with Inpex over many years and Clough’s investment in developing its hook-up capability and implementing key productivity tools and processes to reduce cost and deliver greater certainty of project outcome for clients‚” Laas said.
Meanwhile‚ CH-IV International‚ based in Baltimore‚ Maryland, has been selected as owner’s engineer for Eagle LNG Partners’ production and export facility in the state of Florida‚ responsible for the engineering completion of the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission application.
