Transfield Services has received a A$100m ($106m) contract from Santos to provide construction and maintenance services at its operations in the Cooper and Eromanga basins in central Australia.

Santos awarded the contract for a period of five years, which may be extended to three one-year extensions.

The scope of work will include project delivery, brownfield construction, flow-line construction, shutdown, maintenance and industrial services in the Cooper and Eromanga basins and their associated infrastructure.

The contract is an expansion of Transfield Services’ existing agreement with Santos.

Transfield Services managing director and CEO Peter Goode said that the firm will use its specialist oil and gas expertise to help Santos achieve its business objectives for the Cooper and Eromanga basins.
