Libya: Bidders Gear Up For Trans-Mediterranean Pipeline Middle East Economic Digest, October 6 International companies are preparing to bid by a revised end of December deadline for the first major construction packages in the estimated $5,500 million Libya-Italy gas pipeline project. The pipeline will eventually transport 8,000 cubic metres a year (cm/y) of gas to Italy. France's Technip Geoproduction is providing project management and front end engineering and design (FEED) services for the client, Agip Gas, a joint venture between the Agip division of Italy's Eni and the National Oil Corporation (NOC - MEED 17:12:99). The packages now out for tender include work on the development of onshore and offshore gas and condensate fields, and the onshore processing centre, and pipelines linking the fields to the centre. Procurement of the linepipe for the main line to Italy is also said to have got underway. At least four international groups are understood to have been prequalified for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) packages. The project will involve processing 10,000 million cm/y of gas, of which 2,000 million will be for domestic use. The remaining gas will be exported along a 32-inch-diameter, 600-kilometre pipeline to mainland Italy via Sicily. The pipeline is due to come on stream by 2003.
