As part of the deal, Petrofac will construct onshore pipelines and gas receiving terminal near Kiyiköy in Turkey.

Since April, Petrofac has been carrying out early works for the project through its EPCm business.

The works comprised of FEED verification, detailed design and procurement for the project, which is associated with the offshore section of the TurkStream Gas Pipeline.

As per terms of the contract, Petrofac will offer EPC services for the receiving terminal, which is expected to begin commercial operations in December 2019.

Once operational, the facility will secure 31.5 billion cubic metres of gas per annum from the TurkStream pipeline that starts from the compressor station in Anapa of Russia.

Petrofac engineering and production services’ EPCm managing director Roberto Bertocco said: "We’re delighted to be working with South Stream Transport to help open up a vital gas export channel to Turkey and Southeast Europe.

“We have been working collaboratively and successfully with our client’s team for the past five months to establish the project.

“We now look forward to progressing to the next phase where our focus is on achieving safe and effective delivery in line with South Stream Transport’s goals and expectations.”

Petrofac is engaged in the designing, building, operating and maintenance of oil and gas facilities.

The company offers a full suite of engineering services, including conceptual and feasibility studies and FEED studies for both onshore and offshore facilities.
