Petrofac wins contracts in Oman to provide training solutions

In a press statement, Petrofac said it has secured a number of new awards and contract extensions, with a combined value of over US$30mn, to provide training solutions for key national and international oil companies' clients in Oman, the UAE and Iraq.

In Oman, these include two new awards for the provision of health, safety and environment (HSE) and technical training solutions and a contract extension for the provision of assessment services, Petrofac said.

The company said that it has also been awarded a new contract in the sultanate for the delivery of internationally accredited operations and maintenance training programme through the world-class Takatuf Petrofac Oman training centre in Muscat, which Petrofac and its partner Takatuf Oman opened in late 2018 to provide training for the country's next generation of workforce for the industry.

Karim Osseiran, global head of Petrofac's training services business, said, 'These contract awards demonstrate the continued expansion of our differentiated training services offering in key countries, where supporting the national workforce development agenda is core to our approach. Petrofac has a strong track record in delivering large scale projects and solutions focused on the transfer of knowledge and technology.'
