The contract deals with the construction of new oil and gas infrastructure facilities as well as the upgrading of existing facilities in Kuwait.
The French company is expected to provide services for the next five years, with the option of an additional period of one year.
The new contract with KOC is part of Technip Project Management Consultancy (PMC) services, according to the company sources.
Technip will assist KOC in services including project management, feasibility studies, front-end design, project controls, planning, engineering, procurement, construction management and training of KOC project staff.
