Petrofac has been awarded an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract, valued at approximately 340 million euros, with South Stream Transport B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of GAZPROM, for the development of onshore pipelines and a gas receiving terminal near Kıyıköy in Turkey. 

Through its EPCm business, Petrofac has been undertaking early works since April, which includes FEED verification, detailed design and procurement for the project which is associated with the offshore section of the TurkStream Gas Pipeline.  

Under the contract, Petrofac will provide engineering, procurement and construction for the
