Basra Oil Co. (BOC) has let a contract to Petrofac Ltd. to expand the central processing facility (CPF) at Majnoon oil field in Basra, Iraq (OGJ Online, Dec. 27, 2017).
As part of the lump-sum, $370-million contract, Petrofac will deliver engineering, procurement, and construction services for two oil processing trains equipped to process a combined 200,000 b/d of oil from the field, the service provider said.
This latest 34-month EPC contract for the CPF’s expansion follows BOC’s 2011 award to Petrofac to provide engineering, procurement, and construction management for execution and completion of Majnoon’s existing CPF, Petrofac said.
Majnoon, which lies in southern Iraq 70 km north of Basra City, is one of the world's largest oil fields with 38 billion bbl of oil in place, according to the Iraqi government. The field produces about 220,000 b/d of oil.
BOC previously let a contract to KBR Inc. in May for overall project management, multidiscipline engineering support, procurement, and construction management services for development of Majnoon field (OGJ Online, May 14, 2018).
