Bilfinger, a leading global industrial services provider, has secured a series of engineering projects through a framework agreement with Black Sea Oil & Gas (BSOG). This agreement marks the first new offshore gas development project in the Black Sea in over 30 years, successfully extracting gas from Romania’s maritime territory. Bilfinger’s services encompass both onshore and offshore facilities, which currently produce approximately 10% of Romania’s gas demand, with potential for future growth.
The framework agreement, effective from 2023 to 2026, positions Bilfinger as a natural partner for BSOG, thanks to its extensive knowledge of the regional energy market and its commitment to sustainability and efficiency. The engineering teams from Bilfinger Eastern Europe and Bilfinger Middle East have already completed several projects, with more underway. Their focus includes:
- Detailed design services for the incorporation of new Pig Traps Systems (both onshore and offshore), a complex project requiring expertise across all technical disciplines.
- AS-BUILT projects, where the teams have prepared documentation packages based on red-marked updates provided by the General Contractor.
- Permitting and technical documentation for both onshore and offshore operations, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
“We are proud of our team’s accomplishments and remain dedicated to delivering top-tier engineering services with efficiency, flexibility and a focus on sustainable solutions. We look forward to further collaboration with Black Sea Oil & Gas”, stated Florin Prunaru, Process Engineering Business Unit Director at Bilfinger in Romania.
Black Sea Oil & Gas is an independent Romanian energy company, owned by Carlyle and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). It operates the Midia Gas Development (MGD) project, which includes both onshore and offshore infrastructure and two gas production licenses at the Ana and Doina gas fields in the Midia Shallow Concession in the Romanian Black Sea. In addition to gas development, BSOG is also pursuing several green energy initiatives, including onshore solar, offshore wind and green hydrogen projects, utilizing its existing infrastructure.
