Global engineering group Kentz has landed a £118million contract with Qatar Petroleum for its massive Dukhan oilfield
Kentz will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning of wellhead industrial control systems, as well as corrosion protection, for around 775 wells across the field.
The group’s engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) business unit will carry out the work over a three-year period, with a peak workforce of around 800 staff and field personnel.
Kentz will provide a dedicated supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) network system to monitor wellheads and designated station. This will feed-in directly to Qatar Petroleum’s IT network.
“Kent was awarded its first project with QP in 1997 and since then it has continued to execute numerous EPC projects, engineering and enhancing QP’s assets,” said Kentz EPC business unit chief operating officer Tush Doshi.
“The past year has seen a huge progression in our engineering offering as we implement our 2013 and Beyond strategy and we are confident of continued strong bidding in EPC.”
