Halliburton's Brown & Root Energy Services Lands Major Malampaya Contract in the Philippines

Strategic Insights -

Brown & Root Energy Services, a business unit of Halliburton Company, has been awarded a significant contract for the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of the Malampaya Concrete Gravity Sub-structure (CGS). The CGS will be the first structure of its type to be constructed in the Philippines and will play a crucial role in the Malampaya deep-water project, supplying natural gas to power plants in the country.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Malampaya CGS Alliance, consisting of John Holland, Arup energy, and Van Oord ACZ, has been awarded a contract to construct the Concrete Gravity Sub-structure, a 112-meter by 70-meter, 16-meter high base caisson that will provide support to a deck with an operational weight of 13,000 tonnes.
  • The CGS will be constructed in a purpose-built dry dock in Subic Bay, the Philippines, and will contain approximately 66,000 tonnes of concrete, 7,100 tonnes of reinforcing steel, and 600 tonnes of pre-stressing steel strands.
  • The CGS will be designed to resist earthquake loadings and will be capable of being re-floated at the end of its operational life for environmentally responsible decommissioning.
  • The Malampaya CGS Alliance has committed to a Philippine content of 60% in executing the subcontract, with priority being given to the employment of local staff from the Subic Bay area.
  • The design capacity of the integrated CGS and deck is 508 million standard cubic feet of gas and 32,800 barrels of stabilized condensate per day.
  • The processed gas will be compressed and exported through a 500-kilometer pipeline to the Batangas onshore facility at Luzon Island in the Philippines.

Statistics:

  • The Concrete Gravity Sub-structure will contain approximately 66,000 tonnes of concrete.
  • The CGS will have four shafts extending 15 meters above water level to provide support to the deck.
  • The deck will have an operational weight of 13,000 tonnes.
  • The CGS will be constructed in a purpose-built dry dock in Subic Bay, the Philippines.
  • The design capacity of the integrated CGS and deck is 508 million standard cubic feet of gas and 32,800 barrels of stabilized condensate per day.
