The AMEC Tekfen Azfen (ATA) consortium has been awarded a US$974 million contract for work on the BP-operated Shah Deniz II gas field development in the Caspian Sea.

The contract covers the fabrication, load out, and offshore hook-up and commissioning of the topsides units of the two Stage 2 platforms, including the production and risers platform, and quarters and utilities platform.

Both topsides units will be built at the ATA fabrication yard in Bibi-Heybat, near Baku. The construction works under this contract are planned to start in January 2014, with completion expected in 2018. AMEC will contribute its project and construction management expertise to the consortium.

Richard Rippon-Swaine, Oil & Gas Director for AMEC’s Growth Regions, added: “This latest award reinforces our successful long-standing relationship with BP and with our partners Tekfen and Azfen. We have developed a strong track record in Azerbaijan, applying our global skills locally to deliver projects and engineering services safely and effectively.”

AMEC has worked for BP-operated projects in Azerbaijan for 16 years and, as part of the ATA consortium, has successfully completed three major platform topsides, as well as providing offshore asset support services in the Caspian.

Most recently ATA successfully completed the 19,000-tonne COP-WC project which was recently installed offshore.
