KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia, Sept 18 (Reuters) – Britain’s Petrofac
has won a contract worth about $100 million from
Bahrain’s Tatweer Petroleum to build a gas dehydration facility,
an industry source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The capacity of the gas facility will be 500 million
standard cubic feet per day (scfd), the source said.

This project is the first among those planned by Tatweer to
add gas capacity to meet rising domestic demand.

Petrofac declined to comment.

In 2009, Bahrain through the National Oil and Gas Authority
(NOGA) teamed up with U.S. Occidental Petroleum and Abu Dhabi’s
Mubadala Development Co to establish Tatweer Petroleum to
increase oil and gas production from the Bahrain field.
