Leighton Offshore CEO Peter Cox said that the company is increasing its oil and gas business internationally from its headquarters in Malaysia, and strengthening its engineering and PMC capacity is a core element of its growth strategy.
The new business was developed by Leighton following its acquisition of DPS Bristol (Malaysia)’s oil and gas engineering consulting business.
In addition, Leighton will provide technical, procurement and management support to DPS Consultant Malaysia, which provides oil and gas consultancy services in Malaysia.
Leighton Engineering has also secured its first contract, worth $10m, from Iraq’s South Oil Company.
