Petrofac has received an award notification for the first phase of Kuwait Oil Company's (KOC) Lower Fars heavy oil development programme, which is located in the north of the country.

With a total project value of more than US$4 billion, Petrofac is leading a consortium with Greece based Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) as its partner.

The scope of work covers greenfield and brownfield facilities and includes engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning (EPC), start-up and operations and maintenance work for the main central processing facility (CPF) and associated infrastructure as well as the production support complex.

This includes a pipeline of almost 162 kms which will transport the heavy crude from the CPF to South Tank Farm located in Ahmadi, from where KOC has the option to send it to the proposed Al-Zour refinery in the south of Kuwait.
