Oman Drydock looks to secure Duqm Refinery fabrication deals

MUSCAT, December 20, 2017

Oman Drydock Company (ODC) is exploring opportunities to offer its fabrication capabilities to international contractors preparing to launch work on the $7 billion Duqm Refinery project coming up on the adjacent Special Economic Zone in Duqm.

ODC is a member of ASYAD Group — the government’s logistics development arm.

Fabrication jobs will account for a lucrative share of the multi-billion dollar contracts awarded in August for the three main engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) packages for the implementation of the world-scale grassroots refinery, added the Oman Daily Observer report.

The 230,000 barrels per day capacity refinery is being developed by Duqm Refinery & Petrochemicals Company (DRPC), a partnership of Oman Oil Company and Kuwait Petroleum International (KPI).

Considering its advantageous proximity to the site of the refinery project, wholly government-owned ODC is looking to position itself as the fabricator of choice to contractors requiring potentially tens of thousands of metric tonnes of steelworks during the construction phase.
