This brings the joint venture’s total value of work with RasGas to $117 million following the announcement in April 2009 of $17 million worth of shutdown work.
The shutdown component of the work, which comprises around 50% of the total contract, will be delivered by Transfield Services on behalf of the TWT joint venture, with the maintenance component to be completed concurrently by the TWT joint venture team.
Transfield Services Chief Executive Officer International, Paul McCarthy, said today: “There are a lot of opportunities for Transfield Services in Qatar, leveraging our global systems and processes and ability to manage complex projects and workforces to provide essential services to the Qatar resources and industrial sector.”
“Our ability to mobilise large teams of highly skilled people makes us an invaluable service provider in the resource-constrained Gulf Region,” McCarthy said.
Transfield Services has provided consolidated maintenance and project services to RasGas’ Qatar-based LNG facilities through its joint venture TWT since November 2004.
RasGas is a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum (70%) and ExxonMobil (30%) to operate LNG facilities in Qatar.
