KUALA LUMPUR: Process equipment manufacturer KNM Group Bhd has clinched a US$220 million (RM776.6 million) project to develop and manage oil and gas facilities in Chad.

In a statement to Bursa Malaysia yesterday, KNM said its wholly owned KNM Process Systems Sdn Bhd (KNMPS) entered into a memorandum of agreement on July 29 with the republic’s national oil company Societe Des Hydrocarbures Du Tchad SA.

Under the deal, KNMPS and Societe Des Hydrocarbures will establish a joint venture (JV) company, in which KNM would hold 60% equity. The JV company will be granted a five-year concession to develop and manage facilities at the Sedigi oilfield.

These include production facilities, oil and gas pipelines, a liquefied petroleum gas processing and bottling plant, and 30-megawatt gas-powered electricty-generation facility.

“The JV Co will award to KNMPS, training, operations and maintenance of the facilities for the concession period. The parties agree to finalise the details and execute a joint-venture operating agreement by Aug 31, 2009,” KNM said.

KNMPS will undertake turnkey contract for a period of two years. The government of Chad will be entitled to 20% royalty for oil and 10% for gas produced at the oilfield.
