Petrofac won a $1 billion contract in Algeria for the Ain Tsila Development Project. The contract comes from the joint operating group set up by Sonatrach, Petroceltic, and Enel; together Groupment Isarene.
Located around 1,100 kms south-east of Algiers, the Ain Tsila field will produce gas, LPG and condensate, for the local Algerian market and for export. Under the terms of the 42-month contract, the lump-sum EPC project scope of work includes commissioning, start-up and performance testing.
E S Sathyanarayanan, Group Managing Director, Engineering & Construction, commented: “I am delighted we have the opportunity to be working with the Groupement Isarene partners to deliver this strategically important project. This award builds on Petrofac’s significant track record in Algeria where we have been operating successfully for more than 20 years, with a strong record for project execution and the development of local capability. We are focused on delivering an effective, safe solution that meets our high standards and continues our commitment to the local energy sector.”
Besides working on the Ain Tsila, Petrofac is working on Algeria’s Tinrhert Field Development Project as well as the Alrar and Reggane projects that came onstream last year.
