HOUSTON, Aug. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Valerus
(www.valerus.com), a world leader in integrated oil and gas
handling equipment and services, announced today that it has
successfully participated in the installation of a packaged plant
to treat 45 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of natural
gas containing 21 percent carbon dioxide for United Energy Pakistan
(UEP) in Pakistan. The plant
assists UEP in capitalizing on government incentives for oil and
gas firms to boost natural gas production to overcome the energy
crisis in Pakistan.
Valerus' project scope included engineering, sourcing, logistics
and field commissioning and start-up services for two 400 GPM amine
units and one 2MMBtu/hr triethylene glycol (TEG) unit with
contactors, scrubbers and filters from the Port of Houston to the Port of Karachi, Pakistan. The majority of the
equipment was skid-mounted for ease of transportation and
installation in the field.
The contract agreement was finalized between Valerus and UEP in
December 2013. Valerus deployed
assistance in field commissioning and start-up in March 2014 and first gas was achieved on
April 1, 2014.
"Completed in four months, this project is a testament to
Valerus' ability to rapidly and effectively meet our clients'
global needs and demands," said Steve
Gill, CEO for Valerus. "We look forward to continuing to
work with United Energy Pakistan."
"Working within an extremely challenging timeline, it was

Syed Manzoor Hussain, Head of
Engineering Services at United Energy Pakistan. "Valerus is a
trustworthy partner for the timely delivery of quality equipment
and ongoing project support."
