Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) has awarded a contract worth $40 million to Petrofac’s engineering and production services (EPS) division, according to a statement from the international service provider.

Under the terms of the contract, Petrofac will provide engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) services for the project. This comes as part of the company’s strategy to secure smaller greenfield and brownfield EPC projects, utilising its footprint and infrastructure in existing core markets, it stated.

Mani Rajapathy, managing director of Petrofac EPS East, said: “We are delighted to be awarded this contract by Sharjah National Oil Corporation, a longstanding Petrofac client that we have worked with successfully for many years.

“The award is important strategically as EPS looks to develop its track record in smaller greenfield and brownfield EPC projects. It also leverages Petrofac’s best-in-class expertise and experience in upstream gas and represents another win in one of our core markets of Sharjah and the UAE.”

This follow Petrofac’s win from Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) earlier this month for the construction of offshore facilities for the Dalma gas project. The two contacts valued $1.65 billion were given to Petrofac Emirates and a JV that Petrofac is leading with Sapura Energy.
