National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC) and Petrofac, along with its joint venture China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), have won a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract from ADNOC’s Group company Al Yasat Petroleum
The contract is for the Belbazem Block Development Project located offshore Abu Dhabi, UAE.
The scope of work includes the submission of a FEED package and proposal for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of the facilities.
Ahmed Al Dhaheri, CEO of NPCC, said, “ADNOC and its group companies are strategic partners and valued clients to NPCC. We have together achieved many milestones, including the recent load-out of one of the world’s largest offshore oil platforms to mark the completion of phase two of Umm Lulu’s super complex development.”
“We are committed to supporting ADNOC’s expansion plans to increase their production capacity from four mmbbl per day by the end of 2020 to five mmbbl per day by 2030. We look forward to executing more onshore and offshore projects in Abu Dhabi and the UAE,” he added.
Mani Rajapathy, managing director, Petrofac EPS East, commented, “This award continues to demonstrate our competitive profile in the UAE at the early stages of a project’s development. It complements the wider contracts that we are already engaged in across the ADNOC Group, further deepening our relationship with an important customer in this core market.”
Petrofac first established a presence in the UAE in 1991 and has developed a workforce supporting both regional and international projects, with a commitment to deliver In-Country Value.
