The contract, which has been awarded on a convertible lump sum basis, will convert to a full lump sum contract at a pre-determined point during execution.

As part of the contract, Petrofac will involve in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the CPF at the Khazzan field.

The CPF will include two process trains, with each having a capacity to process around 525 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.

The project, which is expected to complete in 2017, also includes an associated condensate processing system, power generation plant, water treatment system and all associated utilities and infrastructure.

Petrofac onshore engineering and construction business managing director Subramanian Sarma said the company has executed a large number of projects for BP across many aspects.

"We have a very strong record for project execution in Oman with this project representing Petrofac’s eighth EPC contract in the Sultanate and follows the recent award of the US$2.1 billion Sohar refinery improvement project which was announced in November," Sarma added.
