Project Notes
Mar 09 Suncor Energy Inc. plans to buy Petro-Canada. The purchase is subject to approval by the
shareholders for both companies and Canadian regulators.
Apr 08 Petrofac has won a contract to build the gas treatment plant. The award is worth $477 million
and is a lump-sum contract. The two firms have agreed in principle that Petrofac should buy a
10% stake in the Ebla PSC, subject to Syrian government approval. The initial deal, which will
last just over two years, covers all associated facilities and infrastructure, including
engineering, procurement and construction, commissioning and start-up assistance of the gas
treatment plant, pipelines, gas gathering station flow lines and well sites.
Dec 07 Petro-Canada is due to issue a tender by the end of March for an estimated $150 million EPC
contract for the construction of a main processing facility, including a gas treatment plant, and
the laying of pipelines. The facility will have an initial capacity of 2.3 million cubic metres per
day, which is planned to be increased at a later stage to over 4.2 mcm per day. The Calgary
office of Aker Kvaerner has completed the conceptual study and a pre-feasibility contract.
Snamprogetti has recently carried out the FEED package. Prospective bidders for the
16-month contract include Petrofac International, Alstom and Snamprogetti. The Ash Shaer
and Cherrife fields are currently estimated to hold reserves of 14.1 billion cubic metres of
natural gas, or 83 million barrels of oil equivalent. Petro-Canada plans to carry out field
appraisal work to identify upside, which could double the reserves estimate. The operator has
a longterm capital expenditure plan of $460 million-$660 million, depending on the life-of-field
production.
Oct 07 Bids are due out during Q4. Understand a Snamprogetti subsidiary based in Basingstoke
called OPE is doing some FEED work which may be a follow on from Aker Kvaerner carrying
out the pre-FEED.

Arab Gas Pipeline. The three countries will set a company to
carry out the extension from the Jordan/Syria Border. 1st
delivery is expected in March 2007. The plan is to construct a Project Status: Contract Awarded
324km line from the Jordanian border to the Al-Rayan area
east of Homs, and a branch to a power plant in Deir Ali. The
Startup Year 2010
Project, implemented on three phases aims at transporting
Project Category: Mid-Stream
and marketing the Egyptian gas to Jordan in its first and
Scopes: Pipeline
second phases, then crossing into Lebanon and Turkey as
well as other European countries through Syria in its third
phase.

Phase 3: a 62 km pipeline between the northern Syrian city

of Aleppo and Kilis in southeast Turkey. The line will connect
the existing gas transmission network of the two countries
and allow for the export to Turkey of Egyptian gas via the
already constructed line through Jordan, which is linked to
Syria’s existing transmission infrastructure.

When complete, the 10 bcm per year AGP will stretch 1,200
km from El Arish, in Egypt, to the Turkish border town of
Kilis. The total cost of the project is estimated at US$1.2
billion.

Project Notes
Jul 09 Turkey and Syria have agreed to construct the final section of the Egypt-to- Turkey pipeline by
the end of 2010, allowing the possible export of Egyptian gas to Turkey and its transit to
Europe via the planned Nabucco gas pipeline. The agreement covers the construction of a 62
km section of line from Aleppo to theTurkish border and a second section of around 90 km
from the border to connect with Turkey’s existing gas transmission infrastructure at Kilis.
Oct 08 Stroitransgas has inked a deal with Syrian Gas Co. to build a gas pipeline from the northern
Syrian city of Aleppo to the Turkish border. The $71 million contract entails building the 62 km
line over the next 18 months.
Apr 08 Commercial volumes of gas will start flowing from Egypt to Syria on March 10. Testing of the
pipeline from Al-Arish in Egypt to Deir Ali in Syria was completed. Supplies through the pipeline
will gradually rise from 90 MMcm/yr to a maximum of 2 Bcm. The pipeline will eventually
extend to Turkey as early as the second-half of 2009 and eventually supply the European
Union through the Nabucco pipeline link.
Mar 08 Egyptian natural gas is due to arrive in Syria on 21 March via the Arab Gas Pipeline. Imports to
Syria will begin at a rate of 2.5 million cubic metres per day (912 mcm per year. A spur pipeline
from the Syrian section of the pipeline will begin to deliver Egyptian gas to Lebanon by
mid-2008. Bidding for the 62 km-section in Syria, from Aleppo to Kilis, has yet to start, but
construction is expected to take 18 months once a contract is awarded.

signed a formal contract and ministry did not identify the company it was talking about.
Mar 08 Stroitransgas has signed a deal with Iraq to rehabilitate the oil export pipeline.
Jan 08 Stroitransgas is in renewed negotiations with Baghdad to rehabilitate a pipeline linking Iraq’s
Kirkuk oil fields and the Syrian export terminal at Banias. The Russian company, the Iraqi oil
ministry and Iraqi North Oil Co. are currently discussing Stroitransgas’ participation in the
reconstruction of the Kirkuk-Banias export pipeline, Stroitransgas says, with the next round of
talks is scheduled for the second half of January. Iraqi and Syrian officials signed an
agreement in Damascus on Dec. 17 to revive efforts to open the Kirkuk-Banias pipeline and
are encouraging engineering companies to submit tenders for the project.
