Petrofac has gas plant contract with Total
Petrofac has a contract worth in excess of £500 million with Total E&P UK Ltd. for the development of a gas processing plant on the Shetland Islands off the coast of Scotland. Work is scheduled to begin in October 2010, with first gas expected from the project in Q2 2014.
Petrofac will develop the 500 million standard cf/d gas processing plant through its offshore engineering and operations (OE&O) business unit, supported by engineering and construction. The project comprises engineering and procurement, supply, construction, commissioning and startup. The plant, located on Shetland at Sullom Voe, will facilitate the transportation of gas from Total’s Laggan and Tormore fields, which lie 125 km northwest of the Shetland Islands, to the Total operated St. Fergus gas terminal in Aberdeenshire.
Maroun Semaan, Petrofac’s group chief operating officer, commented: “We are pleased to have been awarded this important contract with Total, a major international customer for our group. The contract, which has been secured following an extensive project definition and competitive bidding process, forms part of the strategic growth plan for the OE&O business and marks our first EPC contract in the UK.”
