PetroChina has invited firms to bid for a deal to install field surface facilities at the Halfaya oil field development in Iraq.

The company has set a bid submission deadline of 20 June for the procurement, construction and commissioning tender.

The field surface facilities will be installed around central processing facility (CPF) three, part of PetroChina’s third-phase expansion of the Halfaya field.

The expansion will increase the field’s production capacity to 535,000 barrels a day (b/d) with the construction of the main facilities and a gas processing plant.

The Halfaya consortium includes PetroChina’s parent group China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), Malaysia-based Petronas, France’s Total and state-owned Missan Oil Company.
