The EPC2 involves a new central processing facility (CPF) featuring inlet separation and decarbonisation units.

Petrofac secured the contract for EPC1 of the Tinhert field in 2018. The EPC1 covered the delivery of a new inlet separation and compression centre and extending the existing Ohanet CPF.

Under the latest contract, Petrofac will also be responsible for tie ins to the existing Alrar separation and boosting facilities, in addition to commissioning, start-up, and performance testing.

The development is expected to boost natural gas production at the field while reducing CO₂ from the gas reserves, within specifications for the global market.
