Senior Hargreaves, a division of Senior Plc, has completed the first phase to supply ductwork for a new oilfield development in Kazakhstan. 

The contract, valued at £600,000 at the UK factory gate, involves the supply of 140 tonnes of rigid ductwork. 
This will be installed by local contractors in turbine halls, control rooms and a substation in the Tengiz oilfield.  This is a super giant reserve close to the Caspian Sea with an estimated reserve of six
billion barrels, the company has said.
Contracts were signed in October last year and the first shipment left the UK the
following year. 
The final shipment will be delivered in spring 2005.  The ultimate client, Tengizchevroil (TCO), a joint venture between the Kazakh national oil company and Western producers, has plans to increase output to 700,000 barrels per day by 2010.
Work was awarded to Hargreaves by PFD UK, an alliance between Parsons Energy and Chemical Group and Fluor Daniel. 
PFD is the appointed engineering procurement and construction management company for the project. 
Over the next 40 years, it is projected that TCO will invest around $20 billion in Kazakhstan developing their energy reserves.
