TSWP have agreed to provide the base engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance and shutdown services to the Malampaya facilities from 1 January 2010.

These facilities include 500 km of subsea pipeline, a shallow water offshore platform off the island of Palawan, an onshore gas processing plant at Batangas, south of Manila, and an onshore gas pipeline, which will run to two power stations within Batangas.

The contract, worth around $US68 million, includes a three year extension option.

Transfield Services Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Dr Peter Goode said “We deliver integrated services to oil and gas clients globally to improve their assets reliability and productivity, including RasGas in Qatar. This expertise will be essential to Shell in the Philippines, which supplies gas to meet 40 per cent of the country’s needs.”
