ABB贏得2億1千5百萬美元合同，提升阿爾及利亞石油產量

Pumping stations and automation systems will add to transport capacity

泵站和自動化系統將增加傳輸容量

Zurich, Switzerland, September 18, 2006 - ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, said today it has received a contract from the Algerian oil and gas company Sonatrach to supply pumping stations and automation systems worth more than $215 million.

瑞士蘇黎世9月1日消息——全球領先的電力和自動化技術集團ABB公司今天宣布獲得一份來自阿爾及利亞油氣公司Sonatrach的合同，為其提供價值超過2億1千5百萬美元的泵站和自動化系統。

Two new pumping stations and support systems will be supplied to serve the 665-kilometer-long NK-1 oil pipeline linking Algerian oilfields at Haoud El Hamra with the Mediterranean port of Skikda.

ABB將建造兩座新泵站及支持系統，為長達665千米的NK-1輸油管提供服務，NK-1連接著位于Haoud El Hamra的油田和斯基克達的地中海港口。

“This order builds on a series of recent ABB projects that support the production of hydrocarbon energy in Northern Africa,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “In close cooperation with Sonatrach, we are dramatically expanding oil and gas transport capacity in the region.”

ABB過程自動化部經理Veli-Matti Reinikkala表示：“這份合同建立在ABB最近一系列在北非支持烴能源生產的工程之上。與Sonatrach的緊密合作，我們在該地區引人注目地增加了油氣的傳輸容量。”

ABB’s scope of supply includes engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the new pumping stations, terminal upgrades, and a 44-kilometer-long fuel pipeline. ABB will also provide Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, instrumentation and electrical equipment. The project will be designed and managed by ABB’s Italian unit, with construction activities carried out by a joint venture company operated by ABB and Sonatrach.

ABB的職責范圍包括對新泵站、終端設備的升級以及一個長44千米的燃料管進行工程、采購、建造和調試工作。ABB亦將提供監測和數據采集(SCADA)系統、儀器儀表以及電力設備。該項目將由ABB意大利分公司設計和管理，而建造工程則由ABB和Sonatrach組成的合資公司執行。

The latest project follows a recent $210 million ABB contract for natural gas compressor stations at Hassi R’Mel, Algeria. ABB has several additional projects ongoing with Sonatrach, including construction of a major oil-treatment plant in the Bir Berkine basin and a $150 million contract for TFT gas compressor stations awarded in 2004.

該項目之前，ABB新近在阿爾及利亞Hassi R’Mel獲得了價值2億1千萬美元的天然氣壓縮站合同。另外，ABB與Sonatrach公司還有幾個正在進行的項目，包括一個位于Bir Berkine盆地主要石油處理工廠的建設以及一個2004年獲得的價值1億5千萬美元的TFT氣體壓縮站合同。

The NK-1 project now under way is set for completion in late 2008, and will add some 18 million tons per year to Algeria’s oil transport capacity.

現在進行中的NK-1項目計劃于2008年底完工，每年將為阿爾及利亞的石油傳輸容量增加1千八百萬噸。
