PENSPEN, global provider of engineering and project management services to the energy industry, has secured a £1.8m contract for work in the Middle East.
The engineering procurement and construction (EPC) award will see Penspen, which has an office in Aberdeen’s Queens Gardens, undertake work for Galfar Engineering & Contracting Emirates.
The work will involve well tie-in work at the main Haliba oil field and peripheral prospects. The company will also support with the design and detailed engineering of different types of wells, including: straight oil producers, ESP/artificial lift and water injection wells.
The Haliba oil field, also known as the Area 1 onshore oil field, is on the south-east border of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Being developed in two phases, the Haliba onshore field is expected to reach up to 60,000 bbopd production capacity by 2023.
The Penspen contract covers 75 wells over four years. The first tranche of work will be for 11 wells.
Neale Carter, Penspen’s executive vice president for the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific Regions, said: “This is the first project we have secured with Al Dhafra Petroleum, and we are hopeful that our relationship will continue to strengthen for further work.
“Our MEA team has a stellar reputation of delivering work to the highest standard, and we are pleased that Penspen can play its part in providing EPC services to the Haliba oil field.”
