MUSCAT: State-owned Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Co (Orpic) said it had awarded two contracts for construction of a $3.6bn plastics production complex, the Liwa Plastics Project.
Engineers India Ltd of New Delhi will operate the project management company, while the contract for front-end engineering and design was won by Netherlands-based Chicago Bridge & Iron Co, Orpic said in a statement yesterday without giving the value of the deals.
The plant will be built in Oman’s northern industrial city of Sohar, next to Orpic’s oil refinery and petrochemical plants. Pre-qualifying of companies to bid for the engineering, procurement and construction contract will be finished by the end of this year, Orpic said.
