RIYADH: Companies have submitted bids for the technical and economic consultancy contract for developing wind power projects in Oman, reported MEED. Oman Power & Water Procurement Co. originally tendered the contract in July and received its bids on Sept. 27. The company announced that the contractor will be selected by early October. The scope of work includes two stages — undertaking feasibility studies, followed by the provision of technical consultancy services. This project aims to diversify fuel sources for power generation in Oman. Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. has received three bids for the contract to develop a seawater treatment plant and transmission pipeline project in Mirfa, according to MEED. The project’s work includes the development of a nanofiltration plant — which will hold a capacity of 115 million imperial gallons a day in Mirfa. It also includes seawater intake and outfall facilities for the plant, a pumping station and a 75 km water transmission pipeline to the Bab and Bu Hasa oil fields. The project, estimated at $2 billion, is part of ADNOC's Project Wave — a huge scheme that plans to replace the current aquifer water injection systems used to maintain reservoir pressure in all onshore oil fields
