Muscat – Enppi, a leading Egyptian engineering and contracting company in the oil and gas sector, has been awarded the Integrated Budour–Northeast Birba Project by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) under a contract valued at $355mn, according to an announcement by the Egyptian company.

The contract marks Enppi’s first project in Oman, where it will serve as the main turnkey contractor, representing a significant milestone in the company’s regional expansion strategy across the Gulf, the company said in a statement posted on LinkedIn.

According to Enppi, the PDO project aims to increase gas processing capacity at the Birba Gathering Station from 1.4mn to 4.2mn standard cubic metres per day, while maintaining oil processing capacity at 4,000 cubic metres per day.

The project also includes upgrades to gas processing and utilisation systems to improve operational efficiency and reduce gas flaring to minimal levels. The initiative aligns with PDO’s environmental commitment to eliminate routine flaring by 2030 through flare gas recovery and enhanced sustainability practices.

Enppi said its scope of work includes engineering design, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up, and six months of initial operational support following provisional acceptance of the project.

The company noted that the contract was secured following intense competition with leading international energy firms. It added that the award underscores the success of the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources’ strategy to support the international expansion of Egyptian companies.

‘This accomplishment marks a significant milestone in Enppi’s expanding international portfolio and demonstrates its ability to compete on both regional and global stages. This contract win reflects the effectiveness of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources’ efforts to support Egyptian companies in entering new international markets,’ Enppi said.

‘This success highlights the growing trust in Enppi’s expertise beyond Egypt and showcases the company’s skilled workforce and engineering capabilities in delivering large-scale projects efficiently while adhering to the highest standards of quality, safety and sustainability,’ the company added.
