Petrofac to support Alba assets for Marathon in Equatorial Guinea

Petrofac has bagged a new master service agreement (MSA) award from Marathon Oil in Equatorial Guinea

Under the agreement, Petrofac will provide technical authority and discipline engineering support, ensuring operational excellence, integrity and safety. It will support key onshore and offshore assets, including five offshore steel jacket facilities in the Alba Field and the Alba Gas Plant onshore.

This confirms Petrofac's further growth in Equatorial Guinea since April, when the company entered a five-year technical services contract worth US$350mn with GEPetrol on Block B asset. 

Growing interests in Africa

Alex Macdonald, managing director-Europe, Middle East and Africa, for Asset Solutions, said, “This award is testament to our growing reputation in the region as a safe and efficient service provider, delivering value for our clients. Africa is a key focus area for our business - we look forward to building our relationship with Marathon Oil, supporting its assets in Equatorial Guinea.”

Africa is a key focus for Petrofac’s Asset Solutions business, with Equatorial Guinea being the fifth country of interest, after its well-established operations in Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Senegal and Mauritania.
