The project will involve developing infrastructure and processing facilities for an unnamed gas field in the region, SNC-Lavalin said.

The lump-sum turnkey engineering, procurement and construction scope on the project includes connecting gas producing wells into the main processing plant, the company said.

"A substantial award such as this shows our continued focus on our clients and the resilience of our business model, despite the ongoing pressures in the industry," said Christian Brown, president of SNC-Lavalin's oil and gas unit.
