Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Limited (MEIL), a diverse Indian industrial conglomerate, has secured a major contract worth KD69.23 million ($226 million) from Kuwait Oil Company for its new gas sweetening facility at West Kuwait's oilfield.

The scope of work includes removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from natural gas and production of a sweet and dry gas stream for KOC's pipeline network.

Constructed under an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) model, with sulfur recovery units (SRU) operating on a Build, Own, and Operate (BOO) basis, the facility will treat up to 120 MMSCFD of sour gas containing up to 4% H2S and 10% CO2, said the company in a statement.

Explaining the process, KOC said associated gas produced from its West Kuwait (WK) area is termed as Sour gas due to high H2S and CO2 concentration in gas. These sour components from gas needs to be removed before exporting it to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) plant at Mina Ahmadi Refinery for further processing, it added.
