Punj Lloyd has been selected by Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (ORPIC) and Oman Gas Company (OGC) to construct a 300 km natural gas liquid (NGL) pipeline as well as a 301 km natural gas pipeline.

The first pipeline is part of ORPIC’s $6.4-billion Liwa Plastic Industries Complex (LPIC) and will travel from the New Fahud NGL Plant to the Steam Cracker Unit at Sohar in Oman.

The scope of work also includes construction of block valve and pigging stations. The pipelines need to be completed within 38 and 35 months respectively.

The value of the orders is worth ₹ 2,070 Indian crore or $304 million.

“We feel proud as we were selected due to the strength of our technical and financial bids. Also, Punj Lloyd was the only Indian contractor in Oman to be awarded a seizable contract of the Liwa Plastic Industries Complex mega complex. Our past experience of delivering strategic projects in Oman and our prowess in pipelines globally, both stood testament to our capabilities,” said Atul Jain, president and chief executive officer – pipeline and tankages – Punj Lloyd.
