Petrofac Sign Omani Pipeline Contract


Mabrouk North East Line Construction

Oilfield specialist Petrofac has signed a contract with Petroleum Development Oman for development of the Mabrouk North East Line Pipe Project in Oman.

The agreement will involve management and planning of project cargo logistics and breakbulk transport under an engineering, procurement and construction management support services contract.

“We continue to maximize the provision of local goods and services, which evidences our ongoing commitment to delivering in-country value through each of the projects we undertake in the Sultanate,” said Elie Lahoud, group managing director, engineering and construction - Oman, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.


10-year Framework Agreement

The project is the third secured by UK-based Petrofac under a 10-year framework agreement that will see the firm carry out work for all of petroleum development Oman’s major oil and gas projects. It is valued at about US$75 million.

“We have a strong track record with PDO in Oman and are delighted to have been awarded this latest project under the long-term framework agreement,” Lahoud said.

The project scope is intended to take 19 months to complete and will include management of line pipe material from sourcing, technical and commercial evaluation, planning and control services with management and coordination of interfaces with all parties involved.

19-month Scope

The 19-month project scope includes management of line pipe material from sourcing, technical and commercial evaluation, planning and control services with management and coordination of interfaces with all parties involved.

“The procurement and management activities for this project will be undertaken from Petrofac’s Muscat office from where we provide first-class expertise in high-value order management,” Lahoud said.

Headquartered in London, Petrofac has expanded its foothold in Oman in recent years as construction efforts have ramped up.  The group is one of the largest EPC contractors for oilfield services worldwide with 31 offices and around 13,500 staff.
