NPCC

Abu Dhabi’s National Petroleum Construction Company is the first locally based firm in our list. It certainly has a tempting local market to tap into and it has had a long-standing relationship with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company but the NPCC has cast its net widely and in January it pocketed a $327mn EPC deal from India’s ONGC for five well platforms and a pipeline at the offshore Ratna oilfield. NPCC also has current projects with Saudi Aramco but sees the kingdom as key to its expansion drive and plans to build a fabrication yard in the country.
