Petrofac secures long-term agreement with Petroleum Development Oman

Petrofac has secured a framework agreement (FA) with Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) to provide engineering, procurement and construction management (EP+Cm) support services for oil and gas projects over a period of ten years.

With the option for an additional five years, the agreement builds on a three-year EP+Cm programme undertaken by Petrofac on behalf of PDO.

Petrofac engineering and production services group managing director Craig Muir said: “It builds upon a long-standing relationship, which spans more than two decades and encompasses a significant number of projects undertaken in Oman on both a lump-sum and reimbursable basis.”

“Our priority will be to deliver quality oil and gas facilities that are technically robust, with an absolute focus on safety and in-country value.”

Petrofac is currently undertaking the $1.2bn Rabab Harweel Integrated Project (RHIP) and the $0.9bn Yibal Khuff project on behalf of PDO through an EP+Cm delivery model.

PDO managing director Raoul Restucci said: “This long-term agreement with Petrofac reflects our continuing commitment to the safe and responsible development of hydrocarbons in the Sultanate and to drive maximum in-country value from our operations.”

Petrofac’s Muscat office will support future projects that are planned to be undertaken through the FA.

Petrofac provides various services to the oil and gas production and processing industry, including designing, building, operating and maintaining oil and gas facilities.
