Source: www.gulfoilandgas.com 6/8/2023, Location: Africa

Sapura Energy Berhad (“Sapura Energy”, or the “Company”) and its group of companies (“the Group”) are pleased to announce that its Engineering and Construction (E&C), Drilling, and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) business segments, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, have secured 10 contract wins across the Asia Pacific and Atlantic regions between December 2022 to May 2023.

The E&C business segment secured RM979 million in contract wins, Drilling RM352 million, while O&M secured RM34 million, amounting to a combined value of about RM1.4 billion. More than 70 percent of the combined contract value are from projects outside of Malaysia.

These wins are testament to Sapura Energy’s resilience and is part of a shift in its bid strategy to focus on contracts and regions where the Group is highly competitive. Sapura Energy Group CEO Datuk Mohd Anuar Taib said, “Deploying some of our assets to new regions enabled us to secure new clients as well as overcome limitations brought on by financial constraints. We are also grateful for the trusted partnerships we have established with new and existing clients, who have continued to seek our solutions to deliver their projects.”

The shift in strategy bore early results in Financial Year 2023 (“FY 2023”), as Sapura Energy recovered from an operating loss of RM2.2 billion in the previous financial year to an operating profit of RM751 million in FY2023 despite the limited working capital and macroeconomic challenges. Building on the positive momentum achieved last year, the Company is determined to extend the turnaround and continue exploring opportunities in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres in which the Group could maximise its assets and capabilities.
