SNC-Lavalin has won a contract with Saudi Aramco for engineering and project management services for a gas oil separation plant in Saudi Arabia.
New facilities are proposed at Saudi Aramcos existing plants at Abu Ali and Khursaniyah to process a potential increased output of Arabian Light crude from the Berri Field on the east coast of Saudi Arabia.
SNC-Lavalins scope of work includes front end engineering design (FEED) for a new 250 MBCD (thousand barrels of oil per calendar day) gas oil separation plant at the existing Abu Ali Gas Plant, as well as additional facilities at the Khursaniyah Gas Plant that will process 40 MBD (million barrels per day) of hydrocarbon condensate, all associated with the Berri Crude Increment.
Under the contract, Saudi Aramco may also utilise SNC-Lavalin to provide technical support services for the construction phase.
The front end engineering design project is due to begin this month and the pre-EPC construction stage services are expected to be completed by August 2018.
Martin Adler, President, Oil & Gas, SNC-Lavalin, said: SNC-Lavalin has worked with Saudi Aramco for nearly 40 years and has maintained an impressive track record of safely and successfully delivering projects. This contract award shows the depth of our commitment to customer relations in Saudi Arabia and the region as a whole.”
