In 2010, the South Yoloten gas field development project was awarded to Petrofac. Under the US$3.4 billion contract, the company is providing engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPC) work on a lump-sum basis for a 10 billion cubic metres per annum (bcma) gas processing plant along with the infrastructure and pipelines for the entire 20 bcma development.
