CB&I’s Asset Solutions business (formerly part of Petrofac) has secured a new contract with Cosmo E&P Albahriya Limited (“Cosmo”) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The well engineering services contract will support drilling, engineering, planning and operational activities for Offshore Block 4, Abu Dhabi, which was exclusively awarded to Cosmo in Abu Dhabi’s second competitive bidding round for the exploration, development and production of oil and gas.
The award strengthens Asset Solutions’ position in the Middle East and solidifies new relationships with key regional operators. With shared goals of prioritising safe, stable, and environmentally conscious production, CB&I’s UAE-based team will draw on its local and global experience of delivering innovative well engineering solutions.
John Pearson, Chief Operating Officer of CB&I Asset Solutions, commented: “The UAE continues to be a growth market for our Asset Solutions business as part of our strategy to expand services in selected geographies. This award is testament to our respected wells capability and track record in the region, alongside our commitment to safe and efficient service delivery. We look forward to partnering with Cosmo to support their goals for the block.”
Hisato Ishii, General Manager of Cosmo E&P Albahriya Limited, commented: “We are pleased to work with CB&I for our exploration journey in Offshore Block 4. We value CB&I’s expertise and capability to support our drilling, engineering, planning and operational activities, and look forward to collaborating to execute the campaign safely and efficiently.”
