AMEC wins five-year consultancy contract
Tue, 9 September 2008
AMEC has been awarded a five-year programme management consultancy (PMC) contract by Zakum Development Co (ZADCO) in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The reimbursable contract is estimated to be worth $75 million over the five years – the largest oil-related PMC contract ever awarded by ZADCO. The UK-based engineering company will provide engineering, consultancy, and project-management services extending from concept stage through front-end engineering design (FEED), design, construction, and commissioning of several projects on the multi-billion dollar Upper Zakum field development programme.
The programme began in 2007 and is expected to be completed by 2013.
Among the projects in which AMEC will be involved are the replacement of the 60-km subsea oil pipeline, expansion of onshore/offshore gas-treatment facilities, development of the east and west areas of the field, and a major programme of work to increase offshore crude production capacity from 500,000 to 750,000brl/d. Upper Zakum is the most important of ZADCO’s fields. Located 84km offshore to the NW of Abu Dhabi, the field covers approximately 1,200 square kilometres of the Arabian Gulf. It is part of the Zakum field, the second largest field in the Gulf and the fourth largest field in the world.
