Major BP contract for AMEC in Azerbajian
5 May 2011
London - BP Azerbaijan has awarded AMEC a $600m brownfield contract, covering onshore and offshore assets in the region for five years with two possible four-year extensions.
The engineering and small projects contract is for the provision of project management, engineering, construction management and commissioning for engineering modifications to BP’s existing oil and gas facilities in Azerbaijan. AMEC will carry out the work in Baku with local company Azfen.
The new contract combines BP’s two existing offshore and onshore EMS (engineering modifications services) contracts into one overall contract covering the Sangachal terminal and all BP-operated offshore facilities serving the Shah Deniz and Azeri Chirag Guneshli (ACG) oil and gas fields.
Sangachal is one of the world’s largest oil and gas terminals, and Shah Deniz is one of the world’s largest gas condensate fields.
AMEC, before, held only the offshore EMS contract, so the new combined award significantly increases the scope of the contract for the company
The award is in addition to an existing five-year master services agreement awarded to the AMEC Tekfen Azfen consortium in July 2010, and the two call-offs under that agreement, namely the $340 million COP-WC (Chirag Oil Project - West Chirag) project also awarded in July 2010 and the US$20 million PCWU (process, compression, mater injection and utilities) brownfield integration contract awarded in October 2010.
