EXCLUSIVE: Adnoc Onshore forms project management team

17 December 2018
Adnoc project management team will provide services across all onshore developments

The onshore arm of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc Onshore) has formed a pool of project management consultants (PMC) that will manage its onshore oil field developments and the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) works being executed on those projects, according to a source.

Adnoc Onshore's Integrated Project Management Team (IPMT) model involves its own project management division coordinating with a team of four PMC services providers to obtain procurement support, onsite construction support, and similar services, the source said.

The firms that have become part of the pool are:

  • Wood Group (UK)
  • Penspen (UK)
  • SNC-Lavalin (Canada)
  • Mott Macdonald (UK)

The PMC scheme covers the project management of 15 onshore oil developments across Abu Dhabi.

Only projects with EPC contracts valued at more than $300m are understood to be covered by this scheme, such as Bab Integrated, Bu Hasa Integrated, Southeast Bab fields, Rumaitha and Shanayel.

Wood Group and Penspen had confirmed being awarded the key PMC deals from Adnoc Onshore during the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec) in November.

The source said Penspen had won the largest portion of the PMC deals, with its share exceeding $70m. Penspen confirmed the value in a press release.

Wood had announced winning three separate call-off contracts, totaling $53m, to perform PMC works for Adnoc Onshore. It said its contracts were valid for a period of five years, with one-year extension options available.

Going forward, more Adnoc Group units can create pool of PMC services providers, with players, including the four firms, being in contention for those schemes.
