Trading Statement

Petrofac Limited 25 June 2007 PETROFAC LIMITED ("Petrofac") TRADING UPDATE Petrofac, the international oil & gas facilities service provider, issues the following pre-close trading update ahead of the announcement of its interim results for the six months ending 30 June 2007, expected to be on 6 September 2007. We are pleased to be able to report that the Group's strong operational performance, highlighted in the recent AGM statement, is continuing and the outlook for the rest of the financial year is viewed with increasing confidence. In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, it is anticipated that the Group's net profit for 2007 will be towards the higher end of current market expectations (see note below). During the year to date, order intake across the Group amounted to, in aggregate, approximately US$600 million. Total backlog at the end of June 2007 is expected to be approximately US$3.8 billion (31 December 2006: US$4.2 billion; 30 June 2006: US$3.3 billion) comprising approximately US$2.0 billion from our Engineering & Construction division (31 December 2006: US$2.2 billion; 30 June 2006: US$1.6 billion) and approximately US$1.8 billion from our Operations Services division (31 December 2006: US$1.9 billion; 30 June 2006: US$1.7 billion). Note: The current market expectations for Petrofac's net profit for the year ending 31 December 2007, referred to earlier in this announcement, are based on forecasts provided to Petrofac by nine equity analysts. The range of those forecasts is from US$146.0 million to US$162.0 million.

To the extent work advances on these contracts, revenue is recognised and removed from the backlog. Where contracts extend beyond five years, the backlog relating thereto is added to the backlog on a rolling monthly basis. Order intake comprises new contracts awarded, growth in scope of existing contracts and the rolling increment attributable to contracts which extend beyond five years. Backlog and order intake include only the revenue attributable to signed contracts for which all pre-conditions to entry have been met and only the proportionate share of joint venture contracts that is attributable to Petrofac. Backlog and order intake do not include any revenue expected to arise from contracts where the client has no commitment to draw upon services from Petrofac. Backlog and order intake are not audited measures. Other companies in the oil & gas industry may calculate these measures differently.
