Yibal Khuff project, Oman
Project Summary –
Start Date – 2015
End Date – 2020
Client: Petroleum Development Oman
Project value: US$900 million
Location: 350 km south west of Muscat
In 2015, Petrofac was awarded its second contract with Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) for the Yibal Khuff project, a field located approximately 350 km south west of Muscat.
Similar to the Rabab Harweel Integrated Project, Petrofac is providing engineering, procurement, construction management and commissioning support services on a reimbusable basis with incentives, which means our profit is linked to the achievement of specific milestones and a potential gain share on procurement.
Capacity
When complete, the Yibal Khuff field will deliver:
- 5 MM SCMD of associated gas
- Around 10,000 BPD of oil
Development of the field will add to PDO’s future oil production, whilst the associated gas will be used for power generation and enhanced oil recovery developments.
Resourcing
The project is supported by around 540 Petrofac employees.
For the first time in Petrofac’s history, the offsite and pipeline scope of the project is being executed from our Muscat engineering office.
