General oil and gas contractor Iranian Offshore Engineering and Construction Company (IOEC) has won the tender for a major Indian offshore oil project, a news report here said.
Quoting officials, a PressTV report said a consortium of India's Essar Offshore Subsea Limited and IOEC offered a quotation of $235 million to emerge as the lowest bidder for India's D-1 field development project.
IOEC Managing Director Ali Taheri said the D-1 field is located about 200 kilometres west of Mumbai in the deep continental shelf, at a depth of 85 to 90 metres.
The project, which has a completion deadline of 12 months, involves the installation of three smart well platforms along with three rigid and flexible pipelines, as well as sub-sea cables.
IOEC is Iran’s first offshore general contractor.
It designs, supplies, constructs and installs sub-sea pipelines along with fixed process platforms.
The company plans to extend its oil, gas and petrochemical activities to upstream and downstream projects in both onshore and offshore areas.
