PETROFAC AWARDED DUQM REFINERY PROJECT
Petrofac, in a 50/50 joint venture with Samsung Engineering, has
received notification of intent to award a contract worth
approximately US$2 billion with Duqm Refinery and Petrochemical
Industries LLC (DRPIC) in the southern part of Oman.
Work on the 47-month project will commence shortly, subject to
financial closure and full notice to proceed from DRPIC. Petrofac's
and Samsung's scope of work includes engineering, procurement,
construction, commissioning, training and start-up operations for
all the utilities and offsites at Duqm.
A strategic investment for the Sultanate of Oman, and forming
the cornerstone of the Duqm Special Economic Zone, the development
occupies more than 2,000 acres and, when completed, will have a
refining capacity of approximately 230,000 barrels of oil per
day.
E Sathyanarayanan, Group Managing Director, Engineering &
Construction, commented:
"This significant project represents our twelfth in the country
and serves to reinforce Petrofac's commitment to one of our core
markets; one in which we have been present since 1988. Furthermore,
it provides a valuable opportunity for us to continue to increase
in-country value through engaging with the local supply chain and
recruitment of local resources.
"We are very much looking forward to working with Samsung on
this project and growing our relationship with DRPIC."
