Oil and gas facilities service provider Petrofac has said that its Offshore Engineering & Operations business has been awarded a five-year, multi-million pound contract by BHP Billiton.
Petrofac has supported BHP Billiton’s operation at Liverpool Bay since early construction and operational start-up. As part of the five-year agreement, Petrofac will provide operations and maintenance personnel both onshore and offshore in support of the Liverpool Bay Development in the Irish Sea.
