Petrofac has announced a contract extension from South Oil Company (SOC) for its Iraq Crude Oil Expansion Project. The original contract was awarded in August 2012 for 12 months following a three month mobilization period and was worth approximately US$100 million. The extension follows the original award made in 2012 for phase one of the project which covered operations and maintenance services on the offshore facilities including an offshore platform, metering station, two single point moorings (SPMs), subsea pipelines and tanker operations, all based 60km offshore the Al Fao Peninsula in Southern Iraq. The extension, relating to phase two, covers two additional single point moorings (SPMs) and a Central Metering and Maintenance Platform (CMMP).
