Petroleum Marine Services (PMS), an  Egyptian leading offshore construction and services company,  completed works for phase two of the Development Project of North Safa Offshore Field in the Gulf of Suez. The company installed the offshore platform’s production deck, including production equipment and facilities. The project is operated by the Gulf of Suez Petroleum Company(GUPCO)

The works included the installation of the offshore platform’s production topside, weighing 306.15 tons, which incorporates all the necessary production facilities and equipment required to operate the platform efficiently. This was carried out alongside the installation of the helideck, weighing 128.38 tons, designated for aircraft takeoff and landing, in accordance with the latest technical specifications and approved international standards in safety and operations.

The North Safa project aims to increase crude oil production by providing essential production facilities. PMS deployed its marine assets, the PMS 12 and PMS 17 barges, for the installation. The Petroleum Projects and Technical Consultations Company(Petrojet), Egypt’s largest state-owned, multidisciplinary Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor, was responsible for the platform’s electrical works.

Despite technical and logistical challenges, the company’s teams completed the works within a tight timeframe without impacting production rates through precise planning, integrated coordination, and professional execution, while maintaining full commitment to QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment) standards, according to a statement by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources(MoPMR)

This achievement builds on PMS’s Phase 1 success, which included installing the 560+ ton main offshore platform at the North Safa field in nearly 55 meters of water, alongside laying two subsea pipelines.

 In November 2025, PMS announced a partnership with the ABL Group to provide offshore rig movement services in the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez.

PMS operates a fleet of 20 vessels, serving major clients across the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Suez. The company is one of the three petroleum sector firms that secured temporary listing in the Egyptian Stock Exchange in late June as a prerequisite for a stake sale.
