Milan/Italy – Maire Tecnimont has recently announced that its subsidiary Tecnimont has been awarded by Groupement Bir Seba an EPC contract for the execution of the ‘Bir Seba Phase II and Mouiat Outlad Messaoud Field Development’ Project, in Algeria. Groupement Bir Seba is composed of Algeria’s state-owned Sonatrach, Petrovietnam Exploration Production Corporation, and PTT Exploration & Production Algeria, a subsidiary of Thailand’s national oil company PTTEP.
