Petrofac secures EPCC contract from Tatweer Petroleum

Oilfield services firm Petrofac’s Engineering & Production Services (EPS) division has secured a contract from Bahrain-based firm Tatweer Petroleum.

Under the contract, Petrofac will provide engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) services for an upstream gas project in Bahrain.

The work scope of the contract includes well hook-ups, associated pipelines, as well as tie-ins for several new gas wells in the Bahrain field that Tatweer Petroleum is planning to drill.

Petrofac EPS East managing director Mani Rajapathy said: “This award demonstrates continued confidence in our teams to deliver safe, timely, and efficient solutions for key projects in Bahrain.

“It leverages Petrofac’s best-in-class expertise and experience in upstream gas. Tatweer Petroleum is an important customer in the region, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them and furthering our commitment to building capability in the Kingdom.”

Since 2015, Petrofac has been present in Bahrain following the EPCC contract to supply Tatweer Petroleum with a new 500mmscfd gas dehydration facility.

The project was completed in 2018 and additional work was awarded to Petrofac for the EPC of several gas wells to be connected to the facility.

In April this year, Petrofac announced plans to reduce overhead and project support costs by at least $100m this year and by up to $200m next year.

In February, Petrofac’s Engineering & Production Services (EPS) division secured a contract from Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) for a project in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Last November, Petrofac signed an agreement to acquire W&W Energy Services, a provider of infrastructure services to oil producers.
