Abu Dhabi: Al Jaber Energy Services (AJES) has won a second contract to provide Petrofac Emirates with marine logistics services for construction work on the Upper Zakum offshore oilfield, 84 km north west of Abu Dhabi.
The new contract is worth AED460m ($125.2m) and will span 33 months of work at four artificial islands being developed by Zakum Development Company (ZADCO). Petrofac Emirates will provide a range of engineering, design, procurement and construction services for the project.
