Petrofac Secures 5-Year Training Services Deal with KOC
Petrofac has agreed a five-year deal with Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) for the provision of specialist technical training and competency development services.
The contract, which is valued at more than $35 million, was secured following a competitive tendering process and is effective immediately. Work will be undertaken within Kuwait by the Training Services team who form part of Petrofac’s Engineering & Production Services division.
As part of the deal, Petrofac will support KOC in reviewing and updating its competency systems and will develop and deliver technical training programs to enhance the capability of its operations and maintenance personnel.
“This is a highly innovative, long-term project. A team of more than 30 training professionals and technical specialists from Petrofac will be embedded within KOC’s operations to deliver skills and competency-based learning and development services at the frontline of production operations,” Karim Osseiran, Petrofac vice president for training services and engineering and production services in the east, said in a company statement.
“The award clearly demonstrates KOC’s commitment to its people and the importance it places on the development of competency and skills within its workforce. This project will build legacy value through the development of systems and processes to operationalise human capability development where it matters the most, in the field,” he added.
