Worley bagged a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and procurement services contract from Chevron Cyprus Limited, a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, for the Aphrodite Field Development Project. The contract marks another milestone in the companies’ long-standing collaboration. Importantly, it extends Worley’s involvement in the project following the successful completion of pre-FEED and bridging phase work in 2025.
Located offshore Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Aphrodite project represents the country’s first offshore natural gas development, making it strategically important for both Cyprus and the wider region.
Comprehensive Scope Covering Offshore and Onshore Infrastructure
Under the contract, Worley will deliver FEED engineering across the entire gas field development, ensuring that the project moves forward efficiently toward its next stage.
Specifically, the company will provide engineering services for several key components, including:
*Subsea production systems
*Floating production unit (FPU)
*Export gas pipeline
Onshore receiving and processing facilities
Worley will manage procurement services for equipment related to the floating production unit and onshore facilities. The contract will be executed under a reimbursable engineering and procurement arrangement, allowing flexible resource allocation throughout the project.
Global Integrated Delivery Model Supports Project Execution
To deliver the FEED scope effectively, Worley will utilize its Global Integrated Delivery model, which enables engineering teams across multiple locations to collaborate seamlessly. Through this approach, the company will mobilize expertise from teams in five different countries, ensuring access to specialized skills while maintaining high delivery standards. Consequently, the model helps optimize global resources for complex offshore projects such as the Aphrodite development.
Building on Earlier Project Phases
Worley’s involvement with the Aphrodite gas field began in 2025, when the company completed pre-FEED and bridging phase services for Chevron Cyprus Limited. The newly awarded FEED contract athe next stage of the project’s development, further strengthening Worley’s role in the initiative. The FEED work is expected to be completed by December 2026. Meanwhile, the overall project timeline targets first gas production by 2032, positioning Aphrodite as a significant contributor to regional energy supply.
Strategic Energy Project for Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean
The Aphrodite field development is widely regarded as a landmark energy project for Cyprus. Once operational, it will play an important role in developing the country’s offshore natural gas resources and enhancing regional energy security. For Worley, the project also represents a valuable addition to its global portfolio of energy infrastructure projects, particularly in the offshore oil and gas sector.
CEO Highlights Strong Partnership with Chevron
Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley, emphasized the importance of the company’s collaboration with Chevron. He stated that Worley is pleased to continue its long-standing relationship with Chevron and will leverage its global gas development expertise and integrated delivery capabilities to support the advancement of this strategically important project.
Expanding Worley’s Presence in the Region
Overall, the Aphrodite gas field contract underscores Worley’s growing footprint in the Eastern Mediterranean energy sector. By supporting one of Cyprus’s most important energy projects, the company reinforces its position as a trusted engineering partner for large-scale offshore developments worldwide. As reported by colitco.com, as global demand for reliable energy infrastructure continues to grow, projects like Aphrodite demonstrate how international engineering expertise can help unlock new energy resources while strengthening regional energy networks.
