Petrofac announced that it has won a second operations and maintenance (O&M) contract worth $60 million with Cairn Oil & Gas, Vedanta Limited, being India’s biggest private oil and gas exploration company

The contract will be available for 60 months in which Petrofac will provide services and expertise to support Cairn’s Mangala Processing Terminal (MPT) located in Rajasthan.

In February, Petrofac was chosen by Cairn for the provision of integrated O&M services to support its upstream facilities at the Ravva Oil and Gas field in Andhra Pradesh. Previously, Petrofac completed a lump-sum engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from Cairn in April 2018 for developing its RDG Field.

Nick Shorten, CEO for Petrofac’s Asset Solutions business said: “The award of another prominent O&M contract in India supports our growth ambitions in-country. The Mangala Processing Terminal helps generate significant revenue for the Indian economy, so we value the confidence that Cairn has in our organisation to deliver this latest scope of work. We look forward to supporting them locally, to help drive operational excellence at this important facility.”

Prachur Sah, Deputy CEO, Cairn Oil & Gas, Vedanta Ltd. said “Cairn’s association with Petrofac has advanced our performance in oil and gas operational excellence and execution. Petrofac’s global expertise and performance track record in the upstream oil and gas sector can be seen in our on-ground operations at the Ravva field in Andhra Pradesh. We are confident that their services and expertise to support Cairn’s Mangala Processing Terminal, India’s largest oil field, will help us enable our vision of doubling domestic production and achieving energy ‘aatma-nirbharta’ (self-reliance) for the country.”
