Petrofac wins 3.7bn dollar contract

Oil and gas service provider Petrofac has secured a share of a 3.7bn dollar contract to help develop an oil field facilities for the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.

The contract was awarded to a consortium in which the FTSE 100 company's Petrofac Emirates joint venture is a major part.
