Project Outline
This swap project which is being implemented by our client, the National
Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company, is designed to
facilitate the transfer of crude oil from littoral states of Caspian Sea
to petroleum refining facilities in Tehran. The project which called for
the installation of 16-inch and 32-inch crude-oil pipelines, will have a
daily capacity of 115,000 barrels of crude oil upon completion of its
first phase. The project's capacity will increase to 370,000 and 500,000
barrels per day respectively when the second and third phases of the
project come online.
The 340 km crude oil pipeline links the Caspian Sea to Iran's 250,000
bpd Tehran refinery and the 100,000 bpd Tabriz refinery. Five
international companies, including Russia's Lukoil, Dublin-based Dragon
Oil, Kazakhstan's Munai-Impex, BP-controlled Sidanco and European trader
Vitol, are already involved in shipping crude to Neka. The oil delivered
is exchanged for an equal amount of Iranian crude loaded for export at
Iran's Kharg Island terminal in the Persian Gulf.
Scope of Work
The Project's basic engineering was performed
by the design & engineering division of National Iranian Oil Company
(NIOC) and the installation of 4 pumping stations, a pressure breaker,
and a terminal was awarded to Kayson within the framework of an EPC
(Engineering, Procurement, Construction) contract. It was the first time
in the history of the Iranian construction industry that the NIOC
entrusted an EPC project to a private sector company.
Kayson's scope of work involved local and foreign procurement, process,
mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering, piping and architectural
works, as well as start-up and delivery. Kayson was also responsible for
putting in place safety, quality assurance and quality control
procedures in accordance with contract requirements.
