Oilfield developer National Petroleum Construction Co. has signed development agreements with two Chinese engineering groups to explore “joint collaborative opportunities” in the onshore and offshore oil and gas sectors.

The memoranda of understanding were signed with China National Engineering Co. and China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corp., affiliated to China National Petroleum Corp.

“The two agreements will further drive the global ambition of NPCC to become one of the largest providers of EPC solutions for the energy sector. We have proven competencies in undertaking complex fabrication and manufacturing for onshore and offshore projects, which will add value to any potential partnership with CPECC and CNCEC. It will also enable us to expand our footprint in China, one of the largest growth markets for the energy sector,” said Mohamed Rashed Al Hameli, chairman of NPCC.
