                               PETROFAC LIMITED                                

                         Comment on Press Speculation                          

Petrofac, the international oil & gas facilities service provider, has noted
press speculation concerning the possible demerger of its interests in the Don
area of the North Sea.

Petrofac has a strategy of creating value in assets held by its Energy
Developments unit by leveraging the capabilities of the group's services
businesses, and of harvesting that value, as and when appropriate.   Options
with regard to individual assets are kept under regular review and if an
opportunity arises to crystallise value on attractive terms for our
shareholders, an announcement would be made at that time.

Should such a transaction take place, Petrofac remains committed to further
investment and value creation in its Energy Developments business.
