Muscat – Galfar Engineering and Contracting Company has awarded a framework agreement to Worley Oman to provide services in Petroleum Development Oman’s (PDO) northern concession areas.
Under this five-year framework agreement, Worley Oman will deliver engineering and procurement support services for PDO’s Qarn Alam and Saih Rawl projects, according to a disclosure submitted by Worley to the Australian Securities Exchange. Worley is a global professional services company based in Australia.
‘The scope of the agreement includes engineering, project support, and procurement services across PDO’s capital expenditure portfolio as PDO advances its decarbonisation roadmap,’ the disclosure stated.
Worley expects that most of the services provided will focus on transitional or sustainability-related activities across PDO’s facilities and infrastructure assets. These services will be executed from Worley’s office in Oman.
“We are pleased to support Galfar Engineering and Contracting Company and to build on our longstanding relationship with PDO through this framework agreement,” said Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley.
In June 2023, Galfar Engineering and Contracting Company secured a major contract worth RO280mn for off-plot delivery at Qarn Alam from PDO, with an execution period of seven years. This contract also includes an optional three-year extension valued at RO120mn.
Additionally, in February 2024, Galfar won another project delivery contract at Qarn Alam worth RO100mn from PDO, with a five-year execution period.
