      PETROFAC SECURES FURTHER AWARD FOR KASHAGAN FIELD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Petrofac, the international oil & gas facilities service provider, has secured
an additional award at the Kashagan facility in Kazakhstan, operated by Agip
KCO.

The award, with a US$105 million lump-sum scope and a US$10 million optional
scope, is to engineer and procure a fourth sales gas compressor train within the
gas and LPG plant and undertake debottlenecking modifications to tranches 1 and
2 of the gas treatment plant. The project is necessary to accommodate the
additional gas associated with the processing of the production from the third
oil train. This work will be carried out as an amendment to the existing gas
treatment plant contract, also being executed by Petrofac.

Petrofac's work to date on the Experimental Phase of the Kashagan field
development project includes engineering, procurement and construction
management for the oil treatment plant, gas and LPG treatment plant and sulphur
treatment plant.

Commenting on the project, Maroun Semaan, chief executive of Petrofac's
Engineering & Construction division, said: "We are delighted to have secured
this additional work; it represents Agip KCO's continued confidence in Petrofac
to deliver and further reinforces our position in and commitment to the
substantial capital investment programmes that are underway and being planned in
Kazakhstan and the Caspian region."
