Engineering majors are preparing to lock horns in a contest for the celebrated Dorado shallow-water oil project’s front-end engineering and design contract.
Dorado offshore Australia is officially in the pre-FEED stage but project operator Santos wants to begin the FEED work early in 2020.
Sources said an invitation to tender should be out before the end of this year.
Worley is understood to be carrying out pre-FEED work on the project — a contract that it won against up to seven other interested parties.
