JEDDAH: Saudi Aramco said Wednesday it has selected Samsung Engineering as winner of its four lump sum turnkey contracts for development of the Shaybah natural gas liquids project. Samsung Engineering will perform the engineering, procurement and construction work for all the four packages, said Aramco in a statement. The work scope on the major award includes the construction of the inlet facilities, NGL recovery trains, dehydration, residue gas compression, acid gas compression, NGL storage and shipping, the upgrade of the gas handling capacity for the four existing Shaybah gas oil separation plants and other associated facilities. It also includes a major upgrade to increase the power generation capacity to more than 1 Giga Watt by installing four cogeneration units, seven single cycle units, a 50-kilometer 230 kilo volt transmission line, and the associated electrical and non-electrical utilities. Saudi Aramco is building a grassroots natural gas liquid recovery plant at the Shaybah field in Rub' Al-Khali (Empty Quarter) to supply gas to the local market.
