Petrofac has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract worth US$1.2bn by BP for the central processing facility at Khazzan gas project in Oman

The central processing facility would include two process trains, each having a capacity of 14.8mn standard cubic metres of gas per day, besides an associated condensate processing system, power generation plant, water treatment system and all associated utilities and infrastructure.

According to the UK-listed company, the project is expected to be completed in 2017.

Subramanian Sarma, MD of Petrofac’s onshore engineering and construction business, said, “Petrofac is delighted to be supporting BP on this pioneering project at Khazzan, the largest new upstream project in Oman.

“We have a very strong record for project execution in Oman with this project representing Petrofac’s eighth EPC contract in the sultanate and follows the recent award of the US$2.1bn Sohar refinery improvement project, which was announced in November.”
