State-owned giant Pemex has awarded a partnership between Petrofac and Doris Engineering a project management contract for the operator’s deepwater Lakach project in the Gulf of Mexico.
Petrofac’s engineering and consulting services business (ECS), in partnership with Houston-based Doris, will supply specialized technical assistance and supervision for the construction, installation, commissioning, testing and startup of deepwater subsea wells and infrastructure for the company’s flagship deepwater project.
The scope also will involve drilling activities and tie-ins to existing onshore facilities. Initially involving around 25 engineers, based in Mexico and Houston, the project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015.
