The Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce said it was “deeply concerned” by the announcement, which it said came at an “already worrying time for the North Sea supply chain”.
Chie executive Russell Borthwick said: “Thousands of skilled jobs across the region depend on companies like Petrofac, which sit at the heart of both our oil and gas and energy transition sectors.
“While many of Petrofac’s challenges predate the current government, this is another stark reminder that the UK government must urgently act to restore confidence and stability in the energy industry.”
A spokesperson for the UK Department of Energy Security and Net Zero said the UK arm of Petrofac “is continuing to operate as normal, as an in-demand business with a highly-skilled workforce and many successful contracts”.
They said the administration process was a result of “long-standing issues” in the firm’s worldwide operations.
The spokesperson added: “The government will continue to work with the UK company as it focuses on its long-term future.”
