The April 24 deadline for bids was moved to May 18, the ministry announced on
its Web site Tuesday. The State Company for Oil Projects, a division of the
ministry, is inviting international oil companies to offer bids detailing the
design and engineering study and supplying of all equipment and materials
except the pipelines itself.
The project, which has been in the discussion phase for more than a year, is to
ship Iraqi crude to Iran and in a separate line import refined products. Both
pipelines would transport via the Shatt al-Arab waterway, the body of water
leading the Tigris and Euphrates into the Persian Gulf and delineating the
southern Iraq-Iran border.
Last month the ministry also extended the deadline for companies to submit bids
to design and supply materials for developing the Akkas gas field in western
Iraq, near the Syrian border. The project would supply gas to Syria and
eventually Europe.
The ministry has also issued tender announcements for a new wastewater
treatment project at the Basra refinery and a contract to calibrate new meters
throughout the Basra, Thi-Qar and Maysan provinces
