Petroleum Projects & Technical Consultations Co., or Petrojet, and Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries, or Enppi, won a $1.4 billion contract to expand Libya's natural-gas distribution network. The two Egyptian state-run companies will extend Libya's gas pipeline network by 1,000 klms (620 miles), the Egyptian Oil Ministry said today in a statement on its Web site. The contract is part of a Libyan project to link 500,000 homes to the gas network in five years.
