UAE – Mubasher: Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) has awarded Petrofac’s Engineering & Production Services division (EPS) a $40 million contract to develop a project in the UAE, according to a press release on Thursday.

The managing director of EPS East, Mani Rajapathy, said: “The award is important strategically as EPS looks to develop its track record in smaller greenfield and brownfield EPC projects. It also leverages Petrofac’s best-in-class expertise and experience in upstream gas and represents another win in one of our core markets of Sharjah and the UAE.”
