The three-year contract is worth more than $200m.
Petrofac will also undertake development and implementation of management systems to support efficient operations of the Galkynysh gas field’s central processing facilities 1 and 1A.
This new agreement extends Petrofac’s involvement with the Galkynysh Gas Field, following the successful delivery of the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) project by its Engineering & Construction business unit.
The original EPCC contract for the development of the gas field, which ranks as the second-largest in the world, was awarded in 2009 and completed in 2013.

The central processing facilities each have an annual capacity of ten billion cubic metres (bcm), collectively contributing 20bcm each year to the export pipeline.
Petrofac asset solutions business chief operating officer Nick Shorten said: “Petrofac has a proud history of working with Turkemengas. The expansion of our relationship is testament to our track record of delivering value to customers’ operations.

The TAPI project aims to transport gas produced from the Galkynysh gas field to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.
