Shell awards highest safety certificate to Al Jaber and Partners
Award marks 19 million hours Zero LTI
Al Jaber and Partners has received a certificate from Shell for achieving 19 million hours incident and accident free on the site of its Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) project at Pearl Shell GTL. It is the highest safety record to date for the companies.
“We are delighted to receive the Award from Shell for 19 million hours without incident and are proud of such an admirable safety record and achieving near completion of this project with zero LTI,” said Al Jaber and Partners business development manager Eng Ammar Ammar.
“This is indeed a massive project and we are known for providing complete construction solutions to very high quality standards for substantial development projects worth as much as QR1.9 billion. With a capacity to treat 280,000 barrels of water a day, this water treatment plant is comparable to a plant for a town of 140,000 people,” he said.
The project located at a plant operated as a JV with OTV and Saipem has been designed, construction and commissioned to “optimise the management of a water processing system”. It aims to achieve zero liquid discharge into the natural environment.
Al Jaber’s is working on the full civil and structural work, mechanical steel tank and equipment and piping installation works, with onsite manpower of 15000. The company’s share of the project is worth QR 735,000,000.
Etimated for completion within 42 months, the ETP will be the world’s largest for the recovery, treatment and re-use of industrial process water, according to Al Jaber.
The Pearl Shell GTL Project is currently the single largest investment by Shell with a value of US$ 18 billion and is jointly owned by Qatar Petroleum and Shell. The project includes the development of offshore natural gas resources in the Qatar North Field.
It comprises the development of upstream gas production facilities and on onshore GTL plant that will produce 140,000 barrels per day of GTL products and approximately 120,000 barrels per day of condensate, liquefied petroleum gas and ethane. When completed, it should be the world’s largest integrated GTL complex.
