EDITORS LETTER
Capping it at 25 was the hard part

Ranking is a tough job, but someones got to do it. Find out how we made the list here
elcome to the 2010 Oil & Gas
Middle East Top 25 EPC Contractors special edition in association
with ArabianOilandGas.com
The Middle East has been touted by the
collective international upstream industry
as one of the principal reasons they have
managed to stay in the black throughout
one of the worst downturns in modern
history. When every other major heavy
industry suffered, EPC contractors typically quiet during tight spots collectively
managed to book over $65 billion worth of
work from 2009 through to today.
Some projects stalled, and costs were
reviewed, but in spite of some serious challenges, both economically and technically,
the region has played host to some of the
biggest tenders, most ambitious projects
and the best prospects anywhere in the oil
and gas world.
This special edition has been compiled
by the Energy Team editorial staff at ITP
Business Publishing, combining the efforts
of upstream and downstream specialists
and the ranking has caused lively debate,
which we fully expect to continue on our
message board at ArabianOilandGas.com
Picking the best performers has been
an enjoyable task and we could not have
delivered this product without the cooperation of the international and regional EPC
contractors who have proved forthcoming
with their banked figures and strategies for
the year ahead.
Rather than rank companies simply on
the orderbook value at year-end, or from
financial disclosures, we have chosen to
weigh performers on the basis of how
significant their contribution to the regions
upstream vision has been, and what their
performance trajectory is going forward.
For EPC firms whose influence in the
region is in the ascendancy, or for compa-
Qatar (pictured) and Abu Dhabi have played host to the biggest EPC success stories over the last year.
nies we tip to be ones to watch in the years
ahead, you can expect a higher placing than
regional stalwarts who may be resting on
the laurels of past successes.
The same logic has applied for regional
companies which have managed to grow
their orderbook by swallowing up more
of the work that would have been farmed
out internationally five years ago. There is
no doubt, as you will see from the projects
being taken on and delivered by local
companies and their JV partners that the
region has much to offer in terms of home
grown talent, and we are confident our rankings reflect this.

The profiles included in print here are the
tip of the iceberg in terms of the phenomenal participation we received from the best
EPC companies in the region, so keep an
eye on the website for fuller profiles, exclusive management interviews and project
galleries. And most of all, enjoy this edition,
its 12 months until the next instalment.

PETROFAC
Petrofac won an EPC

deal with PDO for a gas
compression project worth
$350 million last year.
Petrofac took a massive stride towards regional domination in a record-breaking 2009

Petrofac delivered a phenomenal performance in 2009, and
has built on that with a bullish
first half of 2010. The momentum that Petrofac has built up
over the past 18 months, particularly in the Middle East has
earned the company the coveted number one spot in the Oil
& Gas Middle East Top 25 EPC
contractors special report.
I am pleased to report that
we have made a good start
to 2010 and we are confident
that this will be another year
of strong growth, said Ayman
Asfari, group chief executive,
when he delivered another
bumper set of results in March
this year. Following some massive contract awards in 2009, the
companys Engineering & Construction segment is now working on ten large EPC projects
in seven countries, including in
Syria, where mechanical completion on the Ebla gas plant
was achieved in February 2010,
two months ahead of schedule.
In March 2010 Petrofac
announced the award of an EPC
contract for more than $600 million for gas sweetening facilities
for Qatar Petroleum and we continue to bid actively in both our
existing core markets and selectively into new but adjacent markets such as Iraq, said Asfari in
Petrofacs recent Interim Management Statement.
In what was a tough year
for contractors the world over,
Petrofac managed to pull off

some major contract wins in the
region throughout 2009, and
build on those awards this year.
One of the most notable successes of 2009 from a regional
perspective was the $2.1 billion
Abu Dhabi integrated gas development contract.
In summer last year the company announced that its 50%
owned joint venture, Petrofac
Emirates, in partnership with
GS E&C, won the contract from
ADNOC group division GASCO

for a contract worth approximately US$2.1 billion, with a
value to Petrofac Emirates of
around US$1 billion.
The 48-month lump-sum
contract is for the construction of the 4th NGL train at the
Ruwais complex in Abu Dhabi.
This was the first project to be
awarded to Petrofac Emirates,
the joint venture between Petrofac and Mubadala, established
in November 2008.

TOP EPC CONTRACTORS
STAR PERFORMER: $2.3 BILLION CONTRACT WIN

Petrofac was awarded a $2.3 billion contract by Abu Dhabi Company
for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) for the development of the onshore
Asab oil field in 2009. Under the 44-month lump-sum contract, Petrofac
will provide EPC services to upgrade the production capacity of the Asab
field. In addition to the production capacity upgrade of Asab, Petrofacs
scope includes upgrading the facilitys capacity to accept increased
production from Sahil, Shah and other south east fields and to upgrade
the associated utilities and water handling facilities.
Ayman Asfari, Petrofac CEO.
Around the same time last
year the company won an Oman
gas compression project worth
more than $350 million.
The EPC deal covered the
Kauther gas-field depletioncompression project. The contract was awarded on behalf of
the Government of Oman by
Petroleum Development Oman.
Maroun Semaan, group chief
operating officer of Petrofac,
commented: We are delighted
to have successfully secured the
Kauther gas depletion compression project. This award serves
to further reinforce Petrofacs
commitment to the Omani market, gives us continuity of business in the Sultanate and again
highlights Petrofacs continued
competitiveness in the Middle East. Petrofac will undertake the engineering, procure-
ment and construction (EPC)

of the gas compression system,
and associated facilities at the
Kauther gas plant, in addition
to undertaking the commissioning and six months of initial
operations.
The project follows the successful completion of the Kauther gas plant in 2007, which
Petrofac built on an EPC basis
for PDO, including commissioning and operations. In early
2008, Petrofac was asked to
carry out the front end engineering and design (FEED) for
the gas depletion-compression
project and then invited to submit a commercial proposal for
the EPC on a negotiated basis.
The March 2010 deal with
Qatar Petroleum is worth more
than US$600 million. The deal
covers the EPC work for a gas
sweetening facilities project in

Qatars Messaieed and Dukhan
industrial districts.
Petrofac will undertake the
engineering,
procurement,
installation and commissioning
of gas sweetening facilities in
both locations which includes
a sulphur recovery upgrade at
NGL-3 in Messaieed and an acid
gas recovery plant at Arab-D in
Dukhan. Work on the projects is
expected to commence shortly
and is due for completion within
38 months.
Petrofac has a long history
of working with Qater Petroleum and this award, alongside
the engineering services contract that we recently secured,
further underpins our continued
relationship, said Petrofacs
group chief operating officer,
Maroun Semaan.
We are delighted to be part

of the continuing investment
in oil and gas infrastructure by
governments in the region. The
award of this contract serves
to further reinforce Petrofacs
commitment to the Qatari market, he added.
Delivering the Interim Management Statement, the companys chief executive was upbeat,
saying the companys continued
success in its key markets was
in-line with expectations. Following our record order intake
in 2009, the business is delivering on our broader portfolio of
existing contracts and our backlog gives us outstanding revenue visibility for the current
year and beyond, said Asfari.
We continue to invest in our
people and our business infrastructure. Our differentiated
offering, focus on major hydrocarbon regions where significant expenditures are expected
and strong bidding pipeline
gives me confidence in continued growth. The companys
backlog of $7.3 billion at end of
April 2010 and cash balances of
US$1.2 billion shows the group
is in fine financial form, and
is well placed to deliver on its
major contract success of the
past 18 months.
Petrofac will undertake the EPC of the gas compression system and associated facilities at the Kauther gas plant (pictured) in Oman for PDO.

NPCC
NPCC was created in 1973 to

support the UAEs upstream oil
and gas project pipeline..
This year alone Abu Dhabis National Petroleum Construction Company has bagged
contracts worth over a billion US dollars in onshore and offshore projects in the UAE
NPCC was established in April
1973 to provide a facility for the
fabrication of steel structures
required by the onshore and
offshore oil and gas production
industry. The late seventies saw
NPCC growing through considerable expansion with the construction of its own pipe coating
facilities and the launching of a
successful Offshore Services
Division providing full marine
spreads for Pipe laying, Installation and Hook-up works.
NPCCs dynamic growth,
its past achievements and new
facilities have transformed this
national company into a major
international (EPC) contractor,
capable of providing the off-
shore and onshore upstream oil

and gas industry with complete
EPC solutions.
This year alone NPCC has
bagged contracts worth well
over a billion US dollars in both
onshore and offshore projects
in the UAE.
In May this year Abu Dhabi
Marine Operating Company
(ADMA-OPCO) awarded the
EPC contract to NPCC for the
Zakum Central Super Complex
(ZCSC) Demothballing Project.
The contract is valued at US$350
million. The agreement was
signed by Ali Al-Jarwan, ADMAOPCO general manager and
Aqeel Madhi NPCC CEO. Its
our pleasure to have NPCC with
us in this complicated project

which is the largest we will do
for sometime, said Al-Jarwan.
In this particular project
NPCC have demonstrated their
competitive edge in terms of
pricing, schedule and willingness to do the project and we
assure them of our maximum
cooperation to do the job successfully, said Al-Jarwan.
Aqeel Madhi said of the
project: Its not easy in
fact its complicated, but ever
since we have been working
together we have had great cooperationWe will definitely
succeed. As this is a brownfield
project a lot of challenges
are there but our objectives are
definitely common. The ZCSC

demothballing project is part
of overall ADMA Lower Zakum
100 million bpd programme
aimed at enhancing the oil production capacity from Zakum
Field progressively from the
year 2012 onwards. In order to
achieve the additional surface
facilities required for this objective, ADMA-OPCO is de-mothballing and re-commissioning
the production facilities at the
Zakum Central Super Complex, which were shutdown
and subsequently mothballed
in the early 1980s. The scope
of work comprises: detailed
engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and
TOP EPC CONTRACTORS
start-up assistance for major

complex brown field works on
Zakum Central Complex and a
new accommodation platform
(NAP) comprising an 80 bed living quarters module. The NAP
module which weighs approximately 3500MT will be installed
by float over technique. It also
consists of installation of Five
Boat Landings on piles and a
bridge connecting the main
ZCSC complex with the new
accommodation module. The
overall project is scheduled for
completion in 30 months from
the contract effective date of 1st
April 2010.
Earlier this year Abu Dhabi
Company for Onshore Operations (ADCO) awarded another
EPC contract to NPCC to carry
out engineering, procurement
and construction) works on
the Qusahwira Field as part of

Phase I of ADCOs ambitious
1.8 million bpd project scheme.
The Contract value is
US$560 million and was signed
in March by Abdul Munim Saif
Al Kindi, general manager of
ADCO. Earlier in February
2010 ADCO awarded to NPCC
the first EPC contract under the
scheme which covered facilities
required at Bab Field.
The 1.8 million bpd project
aims to augment ADCOs exploitation programme from its current crude oil production of 1.4
mbpd to 1.8 mbpd.
To achieve this, ADCO plans
to increase production at existing North-East Bab oil field
and to begin productions from
other three new oil fields; Bida
Al Qemzan, Qusahwira and
Bab. Qusahwira is a new unde-
veloped field located about 80

kilometres Southeast of Asab
Field. NPCC will carry out full
engineering, procurement and
construction of production
facilities including central and
remote degassing stations, oil
producing, water and gas injec-
tion wells and around 350 kilometres of pipelines and other

associated works including
overhead transmission and fiber
optic cables.
The overall project is scheduled for completion in 33 months
from March 2010.
NPCC has won multi-billion dollar contracts with the ADNOC Group in UAE.

FLUOR
Fluor delivers engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance (EPCM), and project management worldwide. Founded as
a construction company in 1912,
Fluor quickly built a reputation
for applying innovative methods
and performing precise engineering and construction work
within the emerging petroleum
industry.
Fluor is active in the Middle
East, and has been awarded several projects recently. In May
Fluor reported that its offshore
unit was awarded a front-end
engineering and design (FEED)
pumped through a sea pipeline

to Gascos Habshan plant. The
project is scheduled for completion by Q3 2013.
The project we signed on
behalf of ADNOC is a major
milestone which reflects the
ADGAS new vision and commitment to participate in the

countrys national energy strategy, within an integrated project
that also involves ADMA-OPCO
and GASCO, Fahim Kazim,
ADGAS general manager, said
at the time.
Highlighting the challenges
involved in the project Kazim
said the nature of brownfield
EPC work posed additional hurdles. Due to the limited area on
Das Island, we had to reclaim
an additional 108,000 m2 of land
for the project facilities and to
build a 100 metre-long jetty for
offloading heavy 1 500-tonne
modules, he added.
The project is expected to
take 49 months to complete.
Major EPCM deals in Qatar and Abu Dhabi nudge

specialist contractor Fluor into the premier league
contract by Abu Dhabi Marine

Operating Company (ADMAOPCO) for offshore facilities
located at the Umm Lulu field
about 30 kilometres northwest
of Abu Dhabi.
In April, Qatar National Facilities Services, a new venture
partly owned by Fluor, signed
a major five-year maintenance
contract with Qatar Shell Gasto-Liquids Limited for its Pearl
Gas-to-Liquids (Pearl GTL)

REDUCING PROJECT RISK

Tenaris offers a 360 solution to reduce risk in complex hydrocarbon processing projects
Tenaris, a global leader in steel pipes
offers a high quality complete product
range and a pipe management service
package that is helping EPCs and end users reduce their total cost of ownership
for upstream projects. Its state-of- theart manufacturing facilities are strategically located in major oil and gas markets,
bringing a local or regional presence and
better service to its customers.
TURNKEY HYDROCARBON
PIPES PROVIDER
Tenaris is a major manufacturer and supplier of steel tubes and pipes used for extraction, transportation and processing of
hydrocarbons is among the few producers
in the world that can offer an entire range

of products from 3/4 to 28 for the hydrocarbon processing industry. The companys remit includes gas processing, refineries and petrochemical plants. Tenaris
provides different steel grades according
to different international standards like
API, ASTM, EN, DIN and GB and can
comply with severe sour service applications in such as gas treatment plants, Hydrotreaters and Sulphur Recovery units
and withstand extreme temperatures and
high-pressures like Ethylene, Aromatic
and Fertilizer plants. Because of its fully integrated steel shop, Tenaris can make lastminute design changes in wall thickness,
pipe diameter, steel grades and quantities,
including changes that have Severe Sour

Service specifications.
KEEP YOUR PROJECTS ON SCHEDULE

AND ON BUDGET
Tenaris is one of the few pipe manufacturers that has a dedicated team on each
phase of the project capable of handling
different type of projects (Grass root,
expansions and revamps) in different
locations worldwide (Middle East, Asia,
Americas, Europe and Africa) by controlling the entire supply chain.
Tenariss partnership with the customer
starts at an early stage of the project and
continues during its execution. The initial
involvement allows better definition of

risk, its measure and control with consequent benefits in terms of project performance and profitability.
When a strategic HPI project enters
the FEED phase, Tenaris provides technical sales support in order to define the
piping needs that best suite the isometrics
and the expected plant production.
Once the oil companies approves the
project, Tenaris works with the engineering and construction department(s)
for the implementation of the Tenaris
Secured Supply Service (TSSS), a framework agreement that assesses the risks
and additional costs linked to project
execution, ensures mill capacity and
define contractual conditions.
Oil companies and EPCs will be capable
of estimated piping total costs and risks
through Tenaris Total Cost of Ownership
model (TCO), a unique calculation model
that shows how the oil company and EPC
can minimize projects total cost by control-
ling the risk and the impact on the final

piping costs. Tenaris project management
direct business model, leadership and
expertise gained along 25 years operating
in the segment has allowed the company
to identify main additional costs and risks
during the HPI project execution phase
developing several customized solutions
to assure project performance.
The changes that typically impacts
on project performance are: variation of
stock quantities, last minute changes in
project isometrics, working capital, logistics complexity, indirect costs, inspection
costs, financial risks, pipe price variation,
piping delays and failures.
With the definition of tubular material,
logistics requirements and project timing,
Tenaris is able to generate estimates of
the required material and reserve manufacturing capacity that is produced just
few weeks before the construction begins.
The company then works closely with
the EPC for the design of the logistics.

Tenaris can coordinate material delivery,
integrate with global authorized distributors in order to provide additional services
such as storage, loading and unloading,
trucking, as well as for fast deliveries and
small quantities. In this way, oil companies and EPCs will reduce stock surplus,
guarantee delivery and quality and reduce
financial costs.
Customers benefit in a faster and
tailored service, which ultimately reduces
the final cost of tubular supply. A shortened supply chain allows a fast response,
better planning, transparency, increased
flexibility and ultimately better efficiency.

BLACK CAT E&C
Qatars home grown EPC firm will be looking beyond its home turf in 2011
Black Cat Engineering & Construction may not lead the multi-billion dollar EPC projects
which have dominated the leaderboard so far, but the Qatari
firm is one to watch. With
regional ambitions and a key
partnership signed with AMEC,
expect to see more of the company around the Middle East
from 2010. Its growth trajectory
is bound to see it involved in
more of the regions large-scale
projects in the future, and sees
it break into our top 25 as a hot
one to watch.
Black Cat E&C has been
grabbing headlines for all the

right reasons in recent months.
The company is stamping its
mark upon many of Qatars most
ambitious upstream and energy
related projects, and may well
start to look to Gulf, or even
international markets, as much
of its domestic project portfolio
reaches fruition.
The companys evolution
into Qatars largest EPC and
maintenance contractor for the
upstream oil and gas industry
has coincided with quite unparalleled activity in the small Gulf
state. The company claims a

men and anticipated annual
turnover just shy of the $100

In October last year AMEC
joined forces with Black Cat,
forming a joint venture agreement to offer asset support
services to the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors in the country.
Black Cat was acquired by
Qatar Investment & Projects
Development Holding Company (QIPCO Holding) in 1999.
The fresh injection of capital
from QIPCO has seen turnover
and profitability increase fivefold since the acquisition. With
a healthy backlog of over $165
million (excluding a $467 million
joint venture project for the Ras
Laffan Emergency and Safety
Training College), Black Cat
has been well placed throughout the downturn and continue

its rapid expansion.
Last year the firm scooped a
major contract from QP for the
EPIC of Sweet Fuel Gas Supply to Dukhan consumers. With
an approximate contract value
of $110 million, the project is
scheduled for completion in
March 2012. The project consists of sweet fuel gas supply
system pipelines and associated
facilities. The construction activities include but are not limited
to the construction of pipelines
with sizes ranging from 4 inch
to 36 inch diameter. The company is also executing projects
in Mesaieed and Ras Laffan and
its client base includes QP, Gasal
(JV of QP and Air Liquide), Rasgas, Qatargas, QChem, Qafco,

Middle East and the Caspian.
Topaz posted revenue of
US$448 million, and a net profit
of $65 million for 2009. The companys growth in difficult times
demonstrates a resilience that
sets Topaz apart from many of
its peers. The companys operating facilities are in Abu Dhabi
(Adyard) and Fujairah (Nico
International
Hydrospace).
Its fabrication and construction business is engaged in offshore and onshore construction
across the UAE, and for global

is an offshore support vessel
owner and operator serving the
oil and gas industry exclusively.
Charismatic CEO Fazel
Fazelbhoy, told Oil & Gas Middle East: This is an outstanding
achievement in a volatile economic climate and reflects the
inherent strengths of our business. We have demonstrated our
business to be one that grows
shareholder value in a measured and responsible fashion
in any economic cycle. Topazs
recession resilience is a result of
a blend of long and short-term
contracts, exposure to geographies of strategic importance to
energy markets and our refusal
to jump on the bandwagon of
speculative vessel new-buildings
at the peak of the market.
TOPAZ Energy & Marine CEO Fazel Fazelbhouy says 2009 was outstanding.

LARSEN
& TOUBRO
A fine pedigree but a quiet year from L&T

L&T offers the full range of

Indian company fabricates
process platforms with dedicated teams, backed by extensive fabrication facilities and
complementing construction
resources, execute process
platforms. For upstream cluients the company can also
manage well platforms and
pipelines projects, but failed to
deliver much to the Middle East

market in 2009 and 2010. An
exciting development was the
opening of L&Ts Heavy Engineering high tech manufacturing facility in Sohar, Oman. The
new unit in the SIPC area will
augment the existing modular
fabrication facility, making it one
of the largest integrated manufacturing complexes in the Middle East catering to the hydrocarbon and power sectors.
