The five-year agreement for the ATA consortium covers the provision of project management, engineering services, construction management and commissioning and completions for BP’s oil and gas projects in Azerbaijan, including the Chirag Oil Project – West Chirag (COP-WC) project valued at $340m and, in the future, the Shah Deniz 2 project.
AMEC has worked for BP in Azerbaijan for 13 years and, as part of the ATA consortium, has completed two major platform topsides as well as providing offshore asset support services in the Caspian.
The first tranche of work under the new agreement is for the project start-up and associated yard preparation works for an 18,000 tonne topsides facility for the Chirag project.
Neil Bruce, executive director of AMEC, said: “This latest agreement reinforces our successful long-standing relationship with BP and is in addition to our major projects global agreement.
“We have developed a strong position in the Caspian and surrounding region, where we have a good understanding of local issues.”
