The value of the contract awarded to CCTC is not known. Sources estimate it could be worth about $20m.

As part of the contract, CCTC is required to perform engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) works to install a black start diesel generator (BSDG) with a capacity of 1,275 kilovolt-amperes, replace existing BSDGs nearing the end of their life cycle, and replace and/or upgrade existing low-voltage electrical switchgears.

CCTC has in turn awarded Sweden-headquartered Rejlers a sub-contract to carry out detailed engineering works on the project, sources added.

Separately, Adnoc Offshore is also making progress with another key project to build a gas pipeline to transport associated gas produced at Abu Dhabi’s Lower Zakum offshore oil field development.
