Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil producer, has awarded a multi-million-dollar contract for Wasit Gas Plant installation to Canadian engineering and construction company SNC-Lavalin.

 

The scope of work includes construction of the Arabiah Condensate Handling Facility and Sour Water Disposal Unit Project at the Wasit Gas Plant in the Kingdom's Eastern Province, SNC-Lavalin said in a statement on Wednesday.

 

The contract also includes installation of process equipment as well as related civil and structural, piping, electrical and instrumentation and control systems.

 

Work is already underway with a target completion date of late 2019, the statement added.

 

Wasit Gas Plant is one of the largest gas plants to come onstream in Saudi Arabia, and is an enabler for the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 economic roadmap.

 

By converting the gas plant’s waste heat to steam, the plant can generate 750 megawatts of power, enough to meet its own needs and export over 600 MW for use at other Aramco plants through the Saudi Electric Company network, according to Saudi Aramco’s website.
