North African adventure for Maloney Metalcraft

ALDRIDGE manufacturer Maloney Metalcraft has won a £2.04m contract with Samsung Engineering Company.

Maloney – part of the Avingtrans group’s energy and medical division – will design and manufacture a Glycol Regeneration Package for the Timimoun Field Development Project in south-western Algeria for the Korean engineering, procurement and construction contractor
 
The contract is due for completion in March 2016.
 
The Timimoun Field Development Project is a joint venture between Sontract, Total and Compañía Española de Petróleos. A non-conventional gas project, it covers 2,500 sq km and will ultimately include 40 wells, a gas gathering system, central gas processing facilities and a connection to the export pipeline. 

The development is expected to produce 1.6bn cubic metres of natural gas a year over eight years.
 
Austen Adams, managing director of Avingtrans’ energy and medical division, said: “The oil and gas industries are currently facing unprecedented challenges but securing this contract is welcome news for our business and recognises the expertise and strong delivery record we’ve developed in the sector – both when it comes to designing performance critical components and delivering on those designs.”
