MEIL Secures USD 225.5 M Project In Kuwait

Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) has secured a USD 225.5 million project from the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC).

The project involves the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a New Gas Sweetening and Sulphur Recovery Facility (NGSF) at West Kuwait's oil fields.

This project will be developed on a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) basis, with an option for KOC to buy back the facility. It will be executed in two stages - the Execution Phase and the Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Phase.

Located near Booster Station BS-171, the project is expected to be completed within 790 days, followed by five years of operation and maintenance.

The associated Sulphur Recovery Unit (SRU) will comprise two trains, each with a capacity of 100 TPD (tons per day), achieving an overall 99.9% sulphur recovery efficiency.

The advanced facility is designed to treat sour gas containing up to 4% hydrogen sulfide and 10% carbon dioxide, processing 120 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD).

Gas sweetening is the process of removing acidic gases such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from natural gas to make it safe, efficient, and environmentally compliant for use.

The purified gas will be dehydrated and transported through KOC's pipeline network to the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) plant at the Mina Ahmadi Refinery for further processing.

The project is part of Kuwait's focus on sustainable energy, cleaner fuel production and environmental safety.

"We are honoured to partner with Kuwait Oil Company for this strategic gas sweetening facility in West Kuwait. This project reflects MEIL's commitment to delivering world-class energy infrastructure that enhances environmental safety and operational efficiency," said P Doraiah, Director, MEIL.
