Saudi Aramco has awarded UAE-based Lamprell an engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract. The contract consists of two offshore production deck modules and associated pipeline and subsea cables in Saudi Aramco’s Marjan Field.

The deal is said to be part of a long term agreement (LTA) between the two companies.

“We are delighted to have received our first LTA contract award since joining the programme in 2018. Our team has been working closely with Saudi Aramco over the last few months and we look forward to strengthening our partnership through this project,” explained Christopher McDonald, CEO of Lamprell.

The Marjan Field is located in the Arabian Gulf, off Saudi Arabia’s East Coast and is one of the largest oil and gas fields in the region, a statement said.

Lamprell added, “Marjan is a strategic asset of global significance and we are honoured to play a role in its development. The award reinforces our commitment to our strategy and we look forward to working on further opportunities in the region.”
