FTSE 100 oilfield services giant Petrofac has entered into a 'strategic alliance' with AIM-listed oil and gas group Bowlevento develop the latter's Etinde Permit, offshore Cameroon, which will see Petrofac invest up to half a billion dollars.
Petrofac will provide engineering capability to Euroil, a subsidiary of Bowleven, to support the delivery of a Field Development Plan (FDP) for the proposed first phase of development, the companies announced on Tuesday.
It will then provide project management, engineering, procurement and construction services, and will invest up to $500m to develop the asset. In return, Petrofac's investment will be remunerated through a share of Bowleven's product revenue.
