Engineering firms have submitted bids for the construction of the Al Fadhili gas plant in eastern Saudi Arabia
Some firms such as South Korea’s Daelim Industrial and Hyundai Engineering and Construction, as well as UK’s Petrofac have submitted individual bids, while others such as South Korea’s GS Engineering and Construction with Spain’s Tecnicas Reunidas, Italy’s Saipem with Japan’s JGC and South Korea’s Samsung Engineering with Daewoo E&C, have submitted joint bids.
The new plant, which is being developed by Saudi Aramco, will have a processing capacity of 2.5bn standard cubic feet per day (scfd) of sour gas from the onshore Khursaniyah and offshore Hasbah fields, said Reuters.
The project construction will be split into three major packages – gas processing unit, utilities and offsite facilities for steam, nitrogen, power and water systems and sulphur recovery.
Industry sources said that it usually takes around two months to evaluate bids for projects after they are submitted.
The Al Fadhili gas plant, along with Saudi Aramco’s other gas projects in Wasit and Midyan, are expected to add more than five billion scfd of non-associated gas processing capacity, which will help the company meet the rising domestic demand for industrial use and electricity generation in Saudi Arabia, added Reuters.
