L&T Wins Ultra-Mega Order from ADNOC Offshore for Major Middle East Offshore Project

What Happened ?

Larsen & Toubro announced that its Energy Hydrocarbon Offshore (LTEH Offshore) business has secured an Ultra-Mega offshore engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) contract from ADNOC Offshore for a major offshore development project in the Middle East.

The project will be executed through a consortium arrangement, with LTEH Offshore acting as the lead consortium partner. L&T will undertake the majority of the EPCIC work, including engineering, procurement, construction, installation, commissioning and the upgrade of existing offshore facilities.

A significant portion of the fabrication work will be carried out at L&T’s integrated fabrication yards, leveraging its offshore engineering capabilities and execution expertise.
