Saudi Aramco has let a contract to SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., Montreal, to build additional installations at the operator’s 2.5-bcfd Wasit gas processing plant north of Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia’s eastern province.
As part of its scope of work under the multimillion-dollar contract, SNC-Lavalin will construct the Arabiah condensate handling facility (ACHF) and sour-water disposal unit project (SWDUP) at the gas plant, including installation of process equipment as well as related civil and structural piping, electrical, and instrumentation and control systems, the service provider said.
Work on the project is already under way and is scheduled to be completed in late 2019, SNC-Lavalin said.
The service company disclosed no further details regarding the ACHF and SWDUP.
Part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 economic roadmap and designed to feed 1.7 bcfd of sales gas to the national master gas network to help meet domestic energy demand, the Wasit gas plant reached full startup in 2016, according to Aramco’s 2016 annual report.
The gas plant processes nonassociated Khuff gas from Arabiyah-Hasbah offshore field (OGJ Online, Jan. 28, 2011).
