China Oil HBP Group was awarded a $313 million contract to commission Poly-GCL’s natural gas fields in Ethiopia. The gas fields will utilize the planned Ethiopia-Djibouti pipeline for export.
HBP will take charge of surface construction at the Calub and Hilala gas fields in southern Ethiopia’s Ogaden Basin under the two-year contract and build long-distance gas pipelines to support the project.
The facility will form part of the Ethiopia-Djibouti oil and gas project, which is being developed by Poly-GCL. HBP will collect and process natural gas at the Ogaden Basin before pumping it to a plant in Djibouti for liquefaction, after which it will be exported to China and other countries.
