Work at the fifth phase of Safaniya field under the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract is ongoing.  

“Five of the structures on the 4 Jackets and 3 observation platforms project have been installed and the two remaining jackets and the observation platforms are expected to be installed in the first quarter of 2018,” the New York-listed firm added.
