AMEC and Fluor Win EPC Offshore Oil and Gas Contract

AMEC logo AMEC and alliance partner Fluor have won a £93m (AMEC share £46.5m) reimbursable contract for Woodside Energy to provide detailed engineering services for the Enfield floating oil production (FPSO) facility off Western Australia.

Under the reimbursable and incentivised contract, the alliance will now provide full engineering, procurement and construction management services. The 150,000 tonne facility, which will operate in water depths of up to 400 metres, is scheduled to produce first oil in 2006. It will process up to 100,000 barrels of oil per day and have a storage capacity of up to one million barrels. The FPSO's double hull, based on a new build Suezmax type trading tanker specially modified for deepwater operations, is currently under construction at Samsung Heavy Industries, of South Korea.

This is the latest in a series of oil and gas service-based contracts for AMEC in the Far East and follows the alliance's successful completion of front-end engineering and design for the Enfield project from AMEC-Fluor's Perth office.
