Sapura Energy Berhad has secured three new contracts and a contract extension valued at approximately RM815 million in Australia, Brunei, Malaysia and Nigeria, bringing the total value in contract wins for this fiscal year-to-date to RM5.3 billion for the Group.
Yesterday Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Shahril Shamsuddin, President and Group Chief Executive Officer, Sapura Energy said that sustained high oil prices are encouraging recovery in investments which is driving increased activities for the company.
“One of the key areas we are seeing an increase in demand is Brownfield Maintenance and Rejuvenation, where Sapura Energy has established its track record among other upstream services,” he said.
Making an entry into Nigeria for its Engineering & Construction (E&P) segment, Tan Sri Shahril said that expanding Sapura Energy’s footprint in Africa will open up the market for both E&P and Services.
“Our aim is to build a sustainable presence and create a strong service and product supply chain by developing the local talent to support our future business in Africa, as we have done in Brazil and Mexico,” he finalised.
Below are the details for the three new contracts:
