Canada’s SNC-Lavalin has picked up a commissioning and support services agreement from Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), following up on a five-year services contract from Saudi Aramco earlier this year.

Oman’s largest oil and gas producer PDO has hired SNC-Lavalin subsidiary Kentz Overseas Company oil and gas projects within Oman, such as the Rabab Harweel Integrated Project and the Yibal Khuff Project.

The contract, which extends from 2017 to 2022, covers full systems completions, commissioning and start-up management, planning, consultancy, supervision, execution and administration of various oil and gas and related facilities.

In addition, SNC-Lavalin will carry out technical training programmes for local Omanis in commissioning and start-up activities.

SNC-Lavalin has had a successful month in Oman, previously picking up the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) deal on the estimated $600m Luban ammonia plant from Salalah Methanol Company (SMC).

Earlier this year the joint venture SNC-Lavalin Fayez Engineering (SLFE) was awarded a five-year extension to its existing General Engineering Services Plus (GES+) contract with Saudi Aramco.

Under the contract, SNC-Lavalin will be invited to bid on front-end engineering, detailed engineering and project management services to support the implementation of Saudi Aramco’s capital and sustaining capital programmes.
