BP, Yokogawa extend agreement in Oman

Yokogawa Middle East & Africa’s subsidiary in Oman has received a five-year lifecycle agreement extension from BP Oman. Yokogawa Oman has been providing lifecycle support, including call centre support and remote contract management, to BP in Oman’s Block 61 since August 2017.

In addition to maintenance of the facility, Yokogawa Oman also recently supported BP’S successful commissioning and integration of the Ghazeer project (Phase 2 of Block 61’s development) with the existing plant. The project was going through commissioning and testing of the integrated control and safety system during the first quarter of 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic struck. Travel restrictions resulted in resource limitations at site. With the support of Yokogawa Oman, BP continued to successfully commission the ICSS without any delays or additional cost.

Total production capacity from Block 61, comprising both Khazzan and Ghazeer, is expected to rise to 1.5 billion cu ft of gas a day and more than 65,000 barrels a day of associated condensate. With an estimated 10.5 trillion cu ft of recoverable gas resources, the block has the capacity to deliver approximately 35 per cent of Oman’s total gas demand.

The Yokogawa products and services under this new agreement include the Centum VP integrated production control system, Prosafe-RS safety instrumented system, Stardom network-based control system, Plant Resource Manager (PRM) plant asset management package, Fast/Tools Scada software, Exa-series productivity solution software, field wireless and other types of field instruments. The entire facility is monitored and protected by Yokogawa’s comprehensive Cyber Security solution.

The agreement is an affirmation of Yokogawa Oman’s exemplary service over many years. It will contribute towards increasing Yokogawa’s In-Country Value (ICV) in Oman. The company’s current ICV is 50 per cent with commitment to achieve higher values in future, creating more jobs and adding to the local economy.
