Petrofac has secured a USD 200 mn operations contract with Turkmenistan’s TurkmenGas for the management of the Galkynysh field, the world’s second-largest gas field, Petrofac said in a statement.
The details: The operations contract will see Petrofac provide personnel to supervise and support operations and maintenance activities, offer technical support and procurement services, and develop and implement management systems to enhance the efficient operations of the Galkynysh Gas Field Central Processing Facilities 1 and 1A.
The contract builds on Petrofac’s previous role at the Galkynysh Gas Field, where its UAE-based Engineering & Construction unit completed one of the largest engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPC) projects for Turkmengas.
More on the gas field: The Turkmenistan government awarded USD 9.7 bn worth of development contracts back in 2009 — a year after the field’s discovery — to China’s state oil firm CNPC, South Korea’s LG International Corp, Hyundai Engineering, and Petrofac Emirates, Reuters reported previously. The field provides domestic energy supply for Turkmenistan, Petroface said, and serves as a vital energy supply hub for China and a potential raw material source for the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline, according to Albayan.
