Sunder Kalyanam, Group Managing Director for Petrofac's Engineering & Construction Growth business said: "We have been executing projects in Russia since the 1990s and this marks our tenth in the country. Sakhalin Island is a very familiar location for Petrofac as our Sakhalin Technical Training Centre (STTC), established in 2008, has been helping meet increased local demand for competent personnel specialising in the oil and gas industry. From STTC we are able to supply a wide range of technical support services including front-end engineering and design, pre-commissioning and commissioning, operations and maintenance as well as technical manpower support. We look forward to working with Sakhalin Energy to deliver this strategically important project."
