Thousands of jobs at risk as Petrofac files for administration
Petrofac said it will now enter insolvency after Dutch electricity grid TenneT terminated a major contract

Oil and gas services firm Petrofac has entered administration, jeopardising approximately 2,000 Scottish jobs.

The company's insolvency follows the collapse of restructuring plans, triggered by a failed renewables contract in the Netherlands. Petrofac informed investors on Monday of its application to the High Court for administrators.

The firm employs over 7,000 staff worldwide.

This includes around 2,000 employees from its UK base in Aberdeen, with around 1,200 of these offshore and a further 800 onshore in training and operational roles.

Petrofac said it will now enter insolvency after Dutch electricity grid TenneT terminated a major contract to build windfarms.

I recently had the opportunity to chat with a BD Director from NPCC.

His punchline was that you would make more returns putting money in ASB than doing an EPCC Job nowadays. Why would you go through all the hoops and bounds for razor thin margins ?

Another thing he highlighted is that the current market is saturated not only with people under quoting price wise but also nonsensical lead times for LLIs . Apparently they lost the KSCPP project because of a certain EPCC promising they could deliver the TBMs YEARS ahead of the competition ....

Guess what? Lol

Seems like you have to lie and bullshit to get jobs nowadays

Actually, I know about this proposal and project..this is the CCS Platform that was in 2022 proposal and awarded that year.
The Client (We all know who that is) is the one that requested a crazy schedule.

NPCC and their partner (Based in KL) submitted an attainable schedule which was not in compliance with the Client's requirement.

The rest, is history.

Heard it follows Eni operating model which is so called "lean and mean" hence, i can understand whey people felt job is insecure.  Just typical cost cutting works..
