Petrofac’s Engineering & Production Services division (EPS) has been awarded a multi-million dollar engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) contract by Tatweer Petroleum, for an upstream gas project in Bahrain.

Under the terms of the contract, the scope of work includes well hook-ups, associated pipelines, and tie-ins for several new gas wells that Tatweer Petroleum is planning to drill as part of its gas delivery strategy in the Bahrain field.

Mani Rajapathy, Managing Director, EPS East, commented:

"This award demonstrates continued confidence in our teams to deliver safe, timely, and efficient solutions for key projects in Bahrain. It leverages Petrofac’s best-in-class expertise and experience in upstream gas. Tatweer Petroleum is an important customer in the region, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them and furthering our commitment to building capability in the Kingdom."

Petrofac has been present in Bahrain since 2015, following the award of an EPCC contract to supply a new 500 MMSCFD gas dehydration facility by Tatweer Petroleum. The project was successfully completed in 2018, and additional scope of work was awarded to Petrofac for the engineering, procurement, and construction of several gas wells, to be connected to the facility.
