Petrofac Limited POFCY has reported that its Asset Solutions segment secured several new contracts and expanded its current scope of work in the first quarter of 2025. The secured projects add a total of $500 million in earnings for the company.
The new projects also imply that the company’s Asset Solutions division is expanding in core markets and other targeted locations such as the U.K., Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the United States. The secured contracts and scope expansion cover late-life asset management, which involves optimizing the asset life of aging oil and gas facilities. The contract also covers decommissioning services, meaning the removal of onshore and offshore oil and gas infrastructure when it reaches the end of its asset life. It includes integrated services as well.
By expanding into newer geographies, Petrofac is building a diversified global presence. The new awards demonstrate a strong start to 2025 for the Asset Solutions division. Furthermore, the company mentioned that it has a strong project pipeline across various locations, lined up for the rest of the year. These contract awards, along with scope expansions, underscore its extensive knowledge and experience in managing mature assets and decommissioning services. These awards align with POFCY’s broader strategy of tapping into newer geographic locations while expanding its service offerings.
