Petrofac, a top service provider to the global energy sector, has been given a two-year extension on its field maintenance services contract with Al Dhafra Petroleum of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) Group in the United Arab Emirates.

According to the agreement, Petrofac will continue to provide specialized staff to maintain and support infrastructure at the Haliba oil field, which is situated onshore along Abu Dhabi’s southern border.

Asset Solutions company chief operating officer Nick Shorten of Petrofac said:

“This award is testament to our teams’ performance and service delivery. Petrofac has a strong track-record supporting key projects in the UAE, delivering locally, in-country. We look forward to continuing to add value, maintaining these important facilities in a safe and sustainable manner.”

ADNOC’s Haliba oil field is at the vanguard of its development efforts and is crucial to accomplishing the company’s 2030 smart growth goal, which calls for increasing oil production capacity. In order to maximize the Company’s internal resources, it is also ADNOC’s first asset with totally outsourced facilities maintenance, which establishes a precedent for future outsourcing.

Petrofac was founded in the United Arab Emirates in 1991 and has operational hubs in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. The company employs a sizable staff to support domestic and foreign projects. Petrofac actively promotes current career opportunities as emiratization is a top company focus.
