Petrofac Emirates, Petrofac’s joint venture with Mubadala Petroleum, has been awarded a US$500 million onshore engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract by Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) for expansion of compression facilities at the Bab Field, 150 km south-west of Abu Dhabi city.
The company statement said, it will undertake modifications to three of the existing compressor stations and install a new fourth facility. The scope of work also includes 27 well head facilities, associated gas pipelines, direct gathering manifold and modifications to remote manifold stations. The project will be completed in a phased manner in approximately 30 months whereupon commissioning will commence.
On the same day, this JV was also awarded an onshore engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract by Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) for the development of the Bab Habshan-1 project.
The contract was awarded following a competitive tender and is valued at US$187 million.
The project has an anticipated duration of 20 months and includes the provision of water injection clusters, oil production wells, water injection wells, associated electrical and instrumentation facilities, pipelines (headers and flow lines), overhead power transmission lines and modifications at remote degassing stations.

The award follows a competitive tender process and underlines the ongoing strength of Petrofac’s competitive position in the Middle East.”
