In Salah Gas, Algeria
January 9, 2009
In Salah Gas is the largest dry gas joint-venture project in the country. The venture involves the development of seven proven gas fields in the southern Sahara, 1,200km south of Algiers. The field is being developed by In Salah Gas, a 50:50 joint venture between BP and state energy company Sonatrach. Ultimately, In Salah Gas aims to supply 9 billion m3/y of gas to the southern European market. A component part of the project will include the facility to remove CO2 from the gas produced, followed by large-scale reinjection into an underground formation.

The Esso refinery at Fawley on Southampton Water is the largest in the UK and one of the most complex in Europe. Situated on Southampton Water, it has a modern marine terminal that handles around 2,000 ship movements and 22 million tonnes of crude oil and other products every year. The refinery processes some 300,000 barrels of crude oil a day and supplies around 14 per cent of all petroleum products in the UK.
In June 07 the British Gas Group agreed to supply Chile’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal in Quintero Bay. The $775 million engineering, procurement and construction contract was consequently awarded to CB&I. The 2.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) terminal in Quintero Bay – approximately 110 kilometres northwest of Santiago – will have the capacity to meet up to 40 percent of the country’s demand for natural gas.
Full UK Government approval was granted in 1996 for the two sections of the 69-mile (108km) high-speed Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL). This project means that speeds of up to 186mph can be achieved (300km/hr) making the journey time from London’s Waterloo International station to Paris, Lille and Brussels up to 20 minutes quicker.
Buzzard oil field is the largest oil field discovered in the North Sea in the past decade. Discovered in May 2001, Buzzard is located in the Outer Moray Firth, central North Sea, 100 kilometres northeast of Aberdeen and 55 kilometres from the nearest landfall at Peterhead. Buzzard development consisted of three bridge-linked steel platforms supporting facilities for drilling, production, and utilities and accommodation respectively.
R&M Electrical Group, via it’s Azeri Company R&M Caspian Limited, was awarded the framework agreements to supply all of the electrical bulk materials and LV power, control and instrumentation cables for the Onshore Process Facility at Sangachal Terminal of the ACG project currently under installation within the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea. The operating company AIOC is a partnership with BP leading the consortium. Together with the offshore matrix of drilling and production platforms and the BTC pipeline, it represented, at its conception, the largest Oil & Gas project to be undertaken in the world. To date three phases have been implemented since 2003 when R&M became involved.
