Petrofac, the international service provider to the oil and gas production and processing industry, has been awarded an engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning contract worth $40 million by Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC).
 
The contract was won by Petrofac’s engineering and production services (EPS) division, said a statement from the Jersey-registered Petrofac.
 
This comes as part of the company's strategy to secure smaller greenfield and brownfield EPC projects, utilising its footprint and infrastructure in existing core markets, it stated.
 
Petrofac has been present in the UAE since 1991. The group employs around 3,000 people in the country, many of whom are based at Petrofac’s major operational centre in Sharjah.
 
On the big win, managing director (EPS East) Mani Rajapathy, said: "We are delighted to be awarded this contract by SNOC, a longstanding Petrofac client that we have worked with successfully for many years."
 
"The award is important strategically as EPS looks to develop its track record in smaller greenfield and brownfield EPC projects," remarked Rajapathy. 
 
"It also leverages Petrofac’s best-in-class expertise and experience in upstream gas and represents another win in one of our core markets of Sharjah and the UAE. We look forward to delivering a safe and successful project for SNOC," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
