The Future Growth Project (FGP) is based on TCO’s successful 2008 Sour Gas Injection-Second Generation Project expansion, on which another Fluor-led Joint Venture participated.
The SGI/SGP Projects increase the production potential from 13 million tonnes to over 25 million tonnes per annum.
Fluor and its joint venture partner provided engineering, procurement, and construction management services to Tengizchevroil (TCO) for the Asset Development Project, one of the largest and most complex projects undertaken in the oil & gas industry.The Asset Development Project was a combination of the Sour Gas Injection (SGI) and the Second Generation Plant (SGP) Projects at the giant Tengiz and Korolev Fields, located on the northeastern shore of the Caspian Sea. Modules will be assembled in fabrication yards in Korea, Italy and Kazakhstan before being shipped to site via the Russian Inland Waterway System.Fluor started working in Kazakhstan in 1982 and has been working with Tengizchevroil since 1997. The project is owned and developed by the Tengizchevroil (TCO) a joint venture (JV), consisting of Chevron (50%), ExxonMobil (25%), KazMunayGas (20%) and LukArco (5%). To mitigate the extreme weather conditions in the field as well as its remote location a modularized approach was proposed to construction, providing access to a broader workforce and reduce the infrastructure needed at site. Current partners are: Chevron Overseas Company, 50 percent; KazMunayGas NC JSC, 20 percent; ExxonMobil Kazakhstan Ventures Inc., 25 percent and LUKARCO B.V., 5 percent.The project engineering is being executed by Fluor and its joint venture partners from Fluor’s office in Farnborough, UK, with support from its engineering centers in Atyrau and Almaty, Kazakhstan; New Delhi, India; and Houston, as well as its integrated construction site in Tengiz. Tengizchevroil's Future Growth Project-Wellhead Pressure Management Project (FGP-WPMP) is the next major expansion of oil production at Tengiz and is of significant importance to the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Engineering is led from Fluor’s office in Farnborough, UK and is supported by JV offices in New Delhi, Atyrau, Almaty and Houston. The Wellhead Pressure Management Project (WPMP) will keep existing plants full by installation of a central pressure boost facility. In addition to Fluor, KPJV consists of Kazakh Institute of Oil and Gas JSC, Engineering Company KAZGIPRONEFTETRANS LLP, and WorleyParsons. It was formed to provide detailed engineering, procurement and construction management support services for FGP-WPMP. The project team headquartered in Fluor's U.K. office provided engineering, procurement, and construction management services to TCO for both the SGI and SGP Projects.
In April 1993, Tengizchevroil was formed between the Republic of Kazakhstan and Chevron Corporation. TCO conducts its operations in accordance with world-class safety and environmental standards.
The projects included a number of firsts, including:The projects also required an extensive infrastructure upgrade that included 435 miles of railway. The scale of the undertaking called for engineering to be performed 24 hours a day at project offices located in different time zones around the world. The FEED is complete now and detailed engineering is well underway.
FGP will expand production by approximately 12 million tonnes per year.
Each HRSG is capable of generating a maximum of 450 tons per hour of steam at 370 °C and a pressure of 72 bar, using gas turbine exhaust gas and full supplementary firing.In addition to the major power plant equipment, the Fluor JV was responsible for all associated piping and support racking necessary, electrical and control equipment, and BOP equipment within the Power Island battery limits.The project team successfully delivered the world-scale $6.9 billion expansion of the oil and gas facilities for TCO in the second half of 2008.
The Future Growth Project (FGP) is based on TCO’s successful 2008 Sour Gas Injection-Second Generation Project expansion, on which another Fluor-led Joint Venture participated. TCO is developing FGP-WPMP with a demonstrated commitment to local (Kazakhstani) content, worker safety, environmental and social performance. Following implementation of an Incident and Injury Free (IIF) safety program, the project accumulated more than 163 million work hours and at its peak had an active work force of 25,000 personnel.Throughout the project, the team was committed to sending every worker home to their families unhurt and achieved this by the dedicated application of a strong people-centered safety culture./sitecollectionimages/projects/onshore-oil-gas-epcm-project-management/tco-onshore-oil-gas-es1250x527.jpg, Oil and Gas refinery - engineering374;#Tengizchevroil Future Growth Project - Wellhead Pressure Management Project;#1;#ExxonNeftegas Sakhalin Island Onshore Processing Facility - EPC;#123;#ESSO Onshore/Offshore Drilling and Production Platform - EPC2;#Energy & Chemicals;#17;#Onshore Oil & Gas Production;#20;#Sulfur Recovery Currently, the joint venture is working as part of an integrated team with Tengizchevroil on FGP-WPMP.Tengizchevroil LLP (TCO) is a Kazakhstani partnership that explores, develops, produces and markets crude oil, LPG, dry gas and sulfur.
Construction also presented challenges, with a multinational workforce from 61 countries performing construction under hostile climatic conditions. FGP will expand production by approximately 12 million tonnes per year.
