The UK contractor will work for Tatweer Petroleum on the Bahrain field

UK engineering contractor Petrofac has announced that it has been awarded an engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) contract by Tatweer Petroleum for an upstream gas project in Bahrain.

Petrofac said the contract is worth several millions of dollars but has yet to reveal its exact value.

The scope of work includes well hook-ups, associated pipelines and tie-ins for several new gas wells that Tatweer Petroleum is planning to drill “as part of its gas delivery strategy in the Bahrain field”, Petrofac said.

According to regional projects tracker MEED Projects, Petrofac has won the contract for the drilling of 24 pre-Unayzah (PU) wells comprising vertical wells and horizontal wells to the existing gas detection units (GDUs).

Maximum expected gas flow from the vertical and horizontal wells is 30 million cubic feet a day (cf/d) and 50 million cf/d, respectively. The line-up of PU wellheads to GDUs will enable operation of GDUs at their rated capacity of 66 million cf/d.
