Ayman Asfari in 1991 established Petrofac International, of which he became the Group CEO in 2002. Under his leadership, Petrofac has emerged as a prominent EPC contractor in the region. Petrofac was recently awarded an EPC contract by Saudi Aramco for its Fadhili gas greenfield development. The asset, which will have a capacity of around 2,500mn standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD), will process sour gas from the Khursaniyah oil field and the Hasbah non-associated gas field. Petrofac is also going strong in Oman, where it appointed a new country manager less than a year back, and is currently working on a $900mn contract for PDO to provide EPC services for its Yibal Khuff project, 350km southwest of Muscat. In Kuwait, Petrofac last year bagged a $780mn contract from the Kuwait Oil Company.
