The Tinrhert Fields Development is a project developed by Sonatrach in eastern Algeria. The project involves connecting peripheral gas fields to existing processing facilities through new separation, compression, decarbonization and pipeline infrastructure. Its objective is to increase the production of natural gas, LPG and condensates, while enhancing the value of the Tinrhert field resources for the Algerian domestic market and export.
The Scarabeo 5 is a semi-submersible offshore unit belonging to Saipem, originally designed as a 4th-generation drilling floater for exploration and production activities in harsh and subarctic environments. In 2023, Saipem was awarded a contract by Eni Congo to convert the unit into a Floating Production Unit — FPU for the Congo LNG Project. Once installed offshore the Republic of Congo, northwest of the Djeno Terminal, the unit will separate gas and liquids and compress the gas to feed a nearby FLNG unit.
The project consists of two plants: one for producing linear polyethylene (PEL) and another for producing polypropylene (PP), each with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons.
Both plants utilize cutting-edge technologies that ensure top energy efficiency. These technologies are leading in the market and are the first of their kind to be implemented on the Iberian Peninsula.
