Petrofac Awarded US$220 million Refurbishment Project in Malaysia

June 26, 2012

I was wondering when the report will come out, as to how you get a fire in a supposedly depressurised, offline platform.

Dateline 2012-05-22:

Petrofac Facilities Management Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd (Petrofac), part of the Petrofac Group, has been awarded a US$220 million contract by PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of PETRONAS, the Malaysian national oil company, for the refurbishment of the Bekok-C platform, located in Block PM9 in the south-eastern part of the Malay basin. The project will be executed on an engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) alliance basis and is valued at US$220 million.

Bekok-C is a manned platform serving as a gas processing and compression hub exporting gas from the Guntong, Tiong and Bekok fields of Block PM9 in addition to production of crude oil and gas from its own wells. Under the terms of the refurbishment project Petrofac will provide EPCIC services to the platform with the overall project expected to be completed in around 15 months.


BeC – What Happened?

January 24, 2011

I’ll do the weekly job roundup tomorrow, had a leaking water pipe, so that took (and still is a) priority.

Last we heard about the incident, 6 people were injured, but this was way back in Dec. Anyone have any updates? Rumor has it that there is no gas flowing from the platform, due to the extent of damage.
