Al KHOBAR: State-run Saudi Aramco has awarded India’s Larsen & Toubro (L&T) a contract to build facilities including a gas processing plant for its Midyan gas field, state news agency SPA reported.
The world’s top oil exporter is boosting its output of the natural gas needed to meet rapidly rising domestic power demand and supply raw materials to its strategically important petrochemical industry.
L&T will build a plant with a processing capacity of 75 million standard cubic feet per day (scfd) of non-associated gas and 4,500 barrels of condensate per day, the agency quoted Fahad Al Helal, executive director of project management at Aramco, as saying. The project is due to be online mid-2016, SPA added.
“The project will include building two pipelines of 98km length to deliver sales gas and hydrocarbon liquids to a power plant near (the western city of) Duba,” Al Helal said.
