Larsen Toubro Arabia secures engineering, construction contract from Saudi Aramco

Larsen Toubro Arabia has secured an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from Saudi Aramco worth $300m.

The contract is for the set up of gas processing facilities in the Midyan Gas Fields with a capacity to treat 75 MMSCFD of gas and 4,500bpd of condensate.

Larsen Toubro Arabia will also build about 90km of gas and condensate product pipelines. The project is planned to be completed in 37 months.

The new facilities are expected to meet the Kingdom’s energy demands in the west coast region.

The Midyan Gas Processing facility will collect gas and process it in a modular gas plant and export treated gas to a proposed power plant, which is located about 90km from Midyan.

Included in the contract are services for project management, detailed engineering, procurement, supply, fabrication, manufacturing, and inspection.

It also involves transportation, construction, installation, testing, mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning assistance and performance testing.

L&T has also worked to establish onshore gas processing complexes for Reliance Industries at Kakinada, Cairn Energy at Barmer and gas treatment projects at Uran and Hazira for ONGC in India.

The company is currently carrying out two projects, Lekhwair Gas Field Development Project in Oman for PDO and Saih Rawl depletion, and an export gas compression facility upgrade for Dolphin Energy in Qatar.
