                 PETROFAC SECURES ADDITIONAL KARACHAGANAK AWARD

Petrofac, the international oil & gas facilities service provider, has secured
the contract for the detailed engineering, procurement, construction management
and commissioning support for the Karachaganak 4th stabilisation and sweetening
train. This award follows Petrofac's successful completion of the FEED study for
the development. The contract, which is scheduled for completion in mid 2009,
will be executed on a part lump sum and part reimbursable basis.

The addition of a fourth oil processing train will increase significantly the
capacity of the existing Karachaganak Processing Complex (KPC) facilities.
Petrofac will be working alongside Karachaganak Petroleum Operating BV (KPO) and
its partners and with NIPI Caspian Engineering and Research (CER), based in
Kazakhstan. Petrofac and CER will use a jointly developed engineering capability
to increase long term Kazakh development and Kazakh content.

Commenting on the award, Maroun Semaan, Chief Executive, Petrofac Engineering &
Construction, said, "Kazakhstan and the Caspian region are of strategic
importance to Petrofac. With the successful completion of the FEED study, this
award reinforces further our position in and commitment to the substantial
capital investment programmes that are underway and being planned in the
region."
