Petrofac Lands Oman Contracts

UK-based engineering firm Petrofac has won an engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contract and an additional scope of work from Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), it said December 31. The combined value is about $130mn.

The EPCM contract was awarded under a ten-year agreement signed in 2017 for the Mabrouk North East development project. The field is planned to be executed in a phased approach. The 34-month project scope entails developing 16 gas producing wells and exporting the gas to the Saih Rawl Central Processing Plant. The project will be integrated with the Mabrouk North East line pipe procurement project, which was awarded to Petrofac in June 2019, it said.

The other scope of work awarded is to provide further services for PDO’s Yibal Khuff project. This 20-month contract includes detailed engineering, procurement, and support for construction and commissioning nine additional wells to improve overall plant production and laying a gas pipeline from Yibal “A” to the main processing facility.

The Yibal Khuff Project, originally awarded to Petrofac in June 2015, is already in an advanced phase of construction and pre-commissioning, Petrofac said.
