SAPURA Energy, which is in the midst of debt restructuring, is in talks with clients to rescope several key existing contracts - issues the Malaysian contractor said are due to changes made by the clients themselves during project execution. Sapura's engineering and construction (EC) business is negotiating with clients to rescope contracts including for the offshore facilities - the central processing platform and living quarters - for Indian state-owned giant Oil Natural Gas Corporation's Block KG-DWN-98/2 asset off India's east coast, which was awarded five years ago. A consortium of Sapura Energy and India's Afcons won the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning contract for the CPP and LQ destined for the Block KG-DWN-98/2 Cluster 2 development. The CPP jacket and flare jackets were installed in 2021, but execution of other facilities has been delayed by more than two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic and modification orders. Items still in the fabrication stage include CPP topsides, jackets, piles and topsides for the LQ platform and several other associated structures. Upstream reported on 14 April that ONGC had launched a fresh tender for the EPCIC's transportation and installation scope as Sapura was no longer able to complete the work. Also being rescoped is Sapura's EPCIC for Brunei Shell Petroleum's Salman development offshore Brunei, which was awarded in 2019.
