Oil and gas services provider Petrofac has won an engineering contract for the Kuwait Oil Company’s (KOC) gathering centre 29 (GC29), worth around $700million.
The scope of work on the three-year project includes engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning and commissioning of the centre, located around 70 kilometres north of Kuwait City in the north of the country.
The GC29 is one of three gathering centres being constructed to support KOC’s plans to increase and maintain oil production over the next five years.
Each of the three gathering centres will be capable of producing around 100,000 barrels of oil per day together with associated water and gas, Petrofac said.
“We have a long track record with KOC which extends over the last 14 years and the award of GC29 represents our tenth project in the country to date,” said Subramanian Sarma, managing director of Petrofac’s onshore engineering and construction business.
“With ongoing projects for both KOC and Kuwait National Petroleum Company and good visibility of the future pipeline, Kuwait is, and will continue to be, of strategic importance to Petrofac’s ambitions in the Middle East market.”
