Petrofac, a leading provider of services to the global energy industry, has been awarded a three-year contract extension in support of Repsol Sinopec Resources UK’s North Sea operations worth more than US$100 million.

The award, for the provision of operations and maintenance services, is testament to the service company’s established track record and existing long-term relationship with Repsol Sinopec.

Since Petrofac’s initial appointment by Repsol Sinopec in 2016, the scope of work has grown steadily. Notably, Repsol Sinopec awarded an additional six North Sea assets to Petrofac in 2020, a demonstration of continued confidence in delivery.

Nick Shorten, Chief Operating Officer for Petrofac’s Asset Solutions business, said:

“Our relationship with Repsol Sinopec has continued to grow, adapting to new requirements and the operating environment. This contract extension demonstrates our team’s commitment and drive to support Repsol Sinopec through safe and effective operations. We look forward to our continued partnership and collaboration across their North Sea assets.”

The contract supports more than 300 jobs across a range of assets, including Arbroath, Auk, Bleo Holm, Claymore, Clyde, Fulmar, Montrose, Piper, Saltire and Tartan assets in the North Sea. Petrofac also provides support to Flotta Oil Terminal and Nigg Oil Terminal.
