Valued at around AED 261.2 million ($71 million), the first contract is won by Galfar Engineering & Contracting to procure and construct flowlines and wellhead installations for the ADNOC Onshore Asab and Sahil fields.

Galfar also won an engineering, procurement, and construction contract of a value of AED 309.1 million ($84 million) to develop a new bypass system to provide backup for ADNOC Onshore’s existing crude receiving stations at the Jebel Dhanna and Fujairah export terminals.
