Occidental To Win Bahrain Oil Contract

US firm Occidental is the front runner to win a contract to overhaul Awali onshore oilfield, Arabian Business.com reported citing Bahraini top energy official

Occidental To Win Bahrain Oil Contract

Besides Occidental, Bahrain has shortlisted Exxon Mobil and A.P. Moller-Maersk for the contract.

Bahrain will go back to the three bidders and give them an opportunity to improve their offers, Abdul-Hussein Mirza said, on the sidelines of a meeting of Gulf Arab oil ministers.

But Mirza didn't say when the final contract would be awarded.

Bahrain has said it would award the tender, which will see output at Awali double, in the first quarter of 2009. The 35,000 barrels per day field, discovered in 1932, was the first oil find on the Arab side of the Gulf.
