Under the 44-month lump-sum contract, Petrofac will provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services to upgrade the production capacity of the Asab field.
According to the company, the rejuvenation of the Asab field is central to the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations’s (ADCO) overall development plan to increase its production and achieve 1.8 million barrels of oil per day contributing the country’s additional production.
In addition to the production capacity upgrade of Asab, Petrofac’s scope includes upgrading the facility’s capacity to accept increased production from Sahil, Shah and other south east fields and to upgrade the associated utilities and water handling facilities.
Maroun Semaan, Petrofac COO, said: “The Asab development is a large upstream project recently awarded in the region. We are delighted to have secured this project, which demonstrates our competitive position in the Middle East.”
Through its three divisions – Engineering & Construction, Operations Services and Energy Developments – Petrofac: designs and builds oil & gas facilities; operates or manages facilities and co-invests to provide additional alignment.
