Penspen, the UK-based engineering, project management, asset management and integrity services specialist, has said that it has recorded a highly successful year to date in the Middle East and Africa, with a strong performance forecast for the rest of the year.

In a statement, the company said that its Project Management Consultancy (PMC) service line has secured more than $50 million from five new, long-term contracts from ADNOC, ADNOC Onshore, ADNOC Offshore and ADOC during 2021.

The Engineering Project Consultancy (EPC) projects being executed under Penspen’s PMC supervision will support the achievement of ADNOC’s 2030 integrated strategy goals, the statement added.

“We are delighted with our performance in the Middle East and Africa so far this year, particularly in light of such challenging global market conditions caused by the pandemic. These long and medium-term contracts establish a solid platform for further growth throughout this year and beyond,” said Neale Carter, Executive Vice President for the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific regions at Penspen.

“We appreciate the confidence placed in us by our highly valued clients. Their trust in us to deliver our leading Project Management Consultancy, Asset Integrity and Engineering Consultancy services is the driver behind our continuing regional expansion. We have doubled our regional workforce in the past four years to over 560 members of staff, and to support our new contract awards we expect to see our numbers grow to over 600 members of staff by the end of 2021.”

Carter added that Pespen’s Asset Integrity (AI) service line has secured more than $10 million from four new, long-term contracts from BP ROO, ADNOC Offshore, ADNOC Gas Processing and Dubai Petroleum. The contracts cover a range of Asset Integrity services, including pipeline integrity management, corrosion consultancy, risk-based inspection assessment and cathodic protection assessment.

In addition, Penspen’s Engineering service line has brought in more than $10 million from 17 new medium-term contracts from Robt Stone, Galfar Emirates, Target Engineering Construction Company, Archirodon, Arabian Industries, Probus Engineering Construction and Petrozim Line PVT Ltd.

The contracts cover a range of support services such as Study, FEED and detailed design for the development of energy assets in the Middle East and Africa.
