Petrofac has secured a contract with the BP-operated prestigious Shah Deniz 2 project to provide their maintenance build capabilities. The contract, valued at around £5 million, covers new onshore, offshore and pipeline assets in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea for what is one of the largest gas developments in the world.

Plant Asset Management, the asset performance management consulting business of Petrofac, will be responsible for the delivery of this work. Due for completion in 2018, this is part of a long-term project that will see Shah Deniz 2 add a further 16 billion cubic metres (bcma) per annum of gas production to the current 9 bcma produced by Shah Deniz Stage 1, through the opening of a new Southern Gas Corridor to Europe.
