Apr 09, 2025 News

Kaieteur News – The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) has received five proposals for the operation and management of the Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) plant, a component of Phase I, Gas-to-Energy (GTE) project.

This is according to information provided during the reading of bids for the project on Tuesday at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office.

Bidders who submitted proposals are J&L Supplies Guyana Inc., LSI Group S.A/ LSI Guyana Inc., Guygas Inc., Massy Wood, and Excel Guyana Inc.

The OPM, in its request for proposals had stated that the operation and maintenance of the NGL plant is based on a NGL fractionation plant that is designed to extract liquids (C3, C4, C5+) from 50 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMSCFD). Gas will be delivered to the plant via a pipeline running from the offshore Stabroek block to the onshore Integrated Plant Site (ISP) and operated by others.

The document stated that the NGLs will be stored and/or dispatched from the southern side of the integrated facilities 100-acre site, where short-term storage will be in place to allow delivery via road and pipeline to the medium-term storage facility.

A medium-term storage facility will be built east of the integrated facility to provide for two-month storage and facilitate 2km shipments via road or river. Additionally, the project will feature a 2KM pipeline “to connect to short-term and medium-term storage with the Demerara River and Materials Offloading Facility (MOF).”

Notably, the Office of the Prime Minister explained that the O&M contract does not include O&M of the 300 MW combined cycle power plant and auxiliary facilities. This will be performed by Siemen Energy SAS, which will have overall responsibility for coordination of the O&M for integrated facilities.

The tender document had stated that the NGL plant is located on a 100-acre integrated plant site within the Wales Industrial Zone, approximately 25 km inland on the West Bank of the Demerara River, Region Three. Additional storage will be located on land east of the 100-acre site.

This OPM in its initial request for proposals for this project, indicated that the GTE project was expected to startup by mid-2025. The controversial project, which lacks a feasibility study, was initially intended to come on stream by the end of 2024. It was later announced that the project would commence by 2025, however this too has been further extended now to 2026, as explained by Project Head, Winston Brassington.
