Uk-based global energy firm wins $300m worth contracts from PDO

EXPANDING ORDERBOOK: PETROFAC WILL UNDERTAKE AN EPC CONTRACT FOR PDO’S MARMUL MAIN PRODUCTION STATION AS PROJECT, AS WELL AS A PROJECT DELIVERY CONTRACT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ARABIAN INDUSTRIES PROJECTS

Uk-based international energy services provider Petrofac has announced that it has been awarded two contracts, together worth around $300 million through Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), the majority stateowned producer of oil and gas in the Sultanate.

The first is a direct EPC contract for PDO’S Marmul Main Production Station (MMPS) - Gas Compression project. The scope of work for the 30-month, lumpsum turnkey contract includes engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, start-up and initial operational support.

Located at Marmul in the South of Oman, approximately 800 kilometres from Muscat, the purpose of the new facility is to eliminate permanent flaring and manage associated gas.

The work includes gas recovery and booster compressors, gas sweetening, dehydration and other units, utility systems and modification of existing facilities.

The second is a project delivery contract with Petrofac’s partner and main PDO contract holder Arabian Industries Projects LLC, for selected PDO concession areas in the North of Oman.

The scope of this sevenyear contract is for provision of reimbursable engineering services, integrated project support and management services, and has an option to extend for three years.

In line with the main objectives of the integrated project services part of this contract, Petrofac will ensure the effective management, control, execution and documentation of changes and additions to production facilities through specific technical studies related to concept development, development of front-end engineering design (FEED) and detailed design.

Elie Lahoud, Chief Operating Officer – Engineering & Construction, commented: “Petrofac has a significant track record in Oman and PDO are a long-standing client. We look forward to building on our strong relationship through these latest contract awards. Both will be delivered by our teams in the Sultanate, with the focus on safety, maximising local and sustainable delivery, and generating Incountry Value.”
