Qatar Petroleum has awarded Petrofac a contract worth more than US$600million for a gas sweetening facilities project in Qatar’s Messaieed and Dukhan industrial districts.
The scope of work includes the engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning of gas sweetening facilities in both locations. This includes a sulphur recovery upgrade at NGL-3 in Messaieed and an acid gas recovery plant at Arab-D in Dukhan.
“Petrofac has a long history of working with QP and this award, alongside the engineering services contract that we recently secured, further underpins our continued relationship,” Petrofac’s group chief operating officer, Maroun Semaan commented.
“We are delighted to be part of the continuing investment in oil & gas infrastructure by Governments in the region. The award of this contract serves to further reinforce Petrofac’s commitment to the Qatari market, and again highlights our continued competitiveness in the Middle East,” he added.
Work on the project is expected to begin shortly, with completion expected within 38 months.
