Aramco awards $3.3bn gas facility contracts to Sinopec and Tecnicas Reunidas
In the city of Riyadh, 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabian Oil Company aramco has recently entered into contractual agreements exceeding $3.3 billion with two prominent entities, namely the Chinese corporation Sinopec International Petroleum Service Corporation and Spain's Tecnicas Reunidas Saudi Arabia. These contracts pertain to the construction of a substantial gas facility within the Kingdom.
A formal disclosure on the Spanish Stock Exchange has provided pertinent details about the distribution of ownership in this venture. As per the disclosed information, Sinopec is slated to hold a majority share of 65% in the project, while Tecnicas Reunidas is set to hold the remaining 35%. This collaboration encompasses the establishment of a novel facility named Riyas natural gas liquids, strategically located within the Jafurah unconventional gas production project in Saudi Arabia.
Delving into the specifics of the contractual obligations, it becomes evident that the scope extends across crucial facets of the project's lifecycle. This includes, but is not limited to, engineering, procurement, and construction activities. Significantly, the contracts encompass the construction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) distillation facilities as an integral part of the Al-Riyas project. Furthermore, the agreements also encompass the establishment of gas storage facilities and the necessary infrastructure for the export of the processed natural gas.
Aramco's official statement, as cited on its website, underscores the enormity of the Jafurah Gas Field, quantifying its estimated reserves at an astounding 200 trillion standard cubic feet of natural gas. This revelation solidifies the Jafurah Gas Field as the largest discovery of its kind in the Middle East. The energy conglomerate, in characterizing this development, has aptly termed it "one of the most ambitious projects in Aramco's history."
It is noteworthy that the recent accord with Sinopec is part of a longstanding history of collaboration between the Chinese corporation and Aramco. Notably, in March 2023, Sinopec publicly communicated its active intent to explore opportunities in shale gas within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, signaling the sustained and evolving partnership between these two entities in the realm of energy exploration and production.
