Petrofac’s Offshore Projects & Operations has secured a contract with Tatweer Petroleum to supply a gas dehydration facility in Bahrain, making it the company’s first project in the country
A new 500mn standard cubic feet gas dehydration facility will be installed and will be the first of a series of planned gas capacity projects scheduled for the next three to five years, said Petrofac. The project is part of Tatweer Petroleum’s commitment to secure the delivery of natural gas needed to meet the growing demands of Bahrain.
“This award builds on our growing portfolio track record in the Middle East, where we’ve demonstrated our ability to safely deliver project performance and integrity. We now look forward to working closely with Tatweer Petroleum and to playing a key role in the successful future supply of energy from the Bahrain oil field,” said Manivannan Rajapathy, deputy managing director of Petrofac Offshore Projects and Operations.
Tatweer Petroleum CEO Andrew Kershaw said that the installation of the facility would be a milestone in Bahrain’s future energy strategy.
