Singapore’s
Swiber has won its second largest contract ever. The oilfield services
provider has secured Engineering, Procurement, Construction,
Installation and Commissioning (“EPCIC”) contract worth approximately
$310 million from a national oil company in South Asia.
The
project involves a full suite of EPCIC services for 8 new platforms and
associated pipelines required for the development of a new offshore gas
field located in South Asia.
The engineering work will start
immediately with overall project completion targeted in March 2017. For
this project, Swiber will be utilising its in-house construction and
support vessels.
As for Swiber’s largest ever contract, it has
been awarded to the company just a couple of months ago. Namely, in
December 2014, Swiber was awarded a $710 million EPCIC project in West
Africa.
Francis Wong, Group Chief Executive Officer and President
of Swiber, “This new contract is awarded by the national oil company for
which we had previously completed a floatover platform installation
project. Over the years, Swiber has performed offshore projects with a
total value of approximately $1.66 billion for this customer.”
