Saipem has been awarded new E&C onshore contracts for a total amount of approximately €360million.
Among the most significant awards was a contract with Ital Gas Storage (IGS) for the development of gas storage facilities in Cornegliano Laudense, located in the north of Italy.
Saipem will carry out engineering, procurement and construction work for the gas storage facilities, which will consist of two clusters of well-heads, connected by a gas pipeline, and the corresponding surface storage facilities. The facilities will have a gas injection/withdrawal peak design capacity of 28 million standard cubic meters per day and will be completed by the second half of 2018.
The storage facilities will be connected to the Italian gas network, which in turn is connected to the largest Italian and European high pressure gas pipelines.
