A joint venture of Worley and Special Technical Services LLC (STS) has received a three-year contract extension to provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services to bp’s Block 61 (Khazzan and Ghazeer) gas assets in the Sultanate of Oman.
The joint venture is known as Special Technical Services Worley Integrated Solutions (SWIS).
The initial five-year contract that was awarded to SWIS by bp was announced on 30 April 2018. This contract was further extended for two years by bp in 2022. The services include ongoing field development of bp’s Block 61 gas field in Oman as well as brownfield modifications of operational assets including the central processing facility.
The gas from Block 61 is distributed for domestic consumption via Oman’s national gas grid, while also boosting availability of feedstock supply for Oman LNG.
Under the new three-year extension, Worley will continue to lead the work from its Oman office. Worley categorizes this contract as transitional work.
“We are pleased to continue our long-standing global relationship with bp to deliver services for bp’s Block 61 gas assets which contributes to strengthening Worley’s backlog,” said Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley. “SWIS has been working extensively with bp to improve all aspects of operational efficiency, and this award confirms the success of this continuing journey. We’re proud to support bp’s ongoing gas operations in Oman.”
