Oil and gas facilities service provider Petrofac has been awarded a contract worth approximately US$8.5mn to provide maintenance build capabilities to the BP-operated Shah Deniz 2 project, in the Caspian Sea
Plant Asset Management, Petrofac’s asset performance management consulting business, will be responsible for delivering the contract, which covers onshore, offshore, and pipeline assets in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian for one of the world's largest gas developments.
Plant Asset Management vice-president Steve Johnson said, “We are thrilled to be supporting BP with one of its most ambitious projects and for the further opportunity to highlight the skills of our high calibre consultants, engineers, developers, and analysts.”
Due to be completed in 2018, the contract is part of a long-term project to open a new Southern Gas Corridor and thereby see Shah Deniz 2 add a further 16 bcm of gas production per year to the current nine billion cubic metres produced by Shah Deniz Stage 1, according to Petrofac.
Plant Asset Management’s services on the project will include the development of reliability and maintenance strategies, validation of the master equipment list, creation of a maintenance assignment, and the development of computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS) data.
