Altrad Sparrows, the engineering and maintenance specialists for the global energy and industrial sectors, is pleased to announce the award of a new contract with a key offshore operator in Qatar. The scope of work includes the provision of crane and diesel engine maintenance and repair services across Al Shaheen field — one of the world’s largest and most complex offshore oil fields, located approximately 80 kilometres northeast of Ras Laffan, Qatar. The eight-figure agreement is expected to run for an initial period of three years, with an option for a three year extension.
A crucial element of the scope is supporting the client’s existing and growing assets in the Al Shaheen Field. Over twenty Altrad Sparrows personnel will support the new contract, including onshore focal points, senior support engineers, offshore resident crane supervisors (mechanical and electrical), engine specialists, ad-hoc teams, and a workshop refurbishment crew based onshore.
The work will be carried out both offshore and at Altrad Sparrows’ workshop in Doha. “This contract further strengthens our presence in the Middle East and underscores the trust this strategic operator in Qatar’s energy sector places in our specialist capabilities, whilst helping to solidify our position as the leading and largest provider of crane services in the country. Moreover, it ensures we are well-positioned to support the growing number of platforms and cranes expected to come online in the Al-Shaheen field,” said Ryan Horn, General Manager at Altrad Sparrows in Qatar.
