Reuters reported that Japan's second largest plant engineering company has won a USD 500 million order from Sonatrach in Algeria's state owned oil company, to construct a crude oil and natural gas treatment plant.
The Nikkei newspaper without saying where it got the information reported the plant, to be built in Algeria's Rhourde Nouss district, will be completed in 2011.
The paper said that JGC will handle the design and procurement of equipment, while wholly owned unit JGC Algeria will construct the factory. The paper added that crude oil and gas will be separated at the plant and shipped through pipelines to oil refineries and gas treatment facilities.
