Saudi KAD, a major engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company, has been selected as Saudi Aramco’s contractor for executing several pipeline projects related to the Master Gas Program Phase II, and the Fadhili Gas Program.
When the project is completed in 2018, the Master Gas System capacity will increase to 12.5 billion standard cubic feet per day.
The scope of these projects will entail the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a pipeline network totaling 1,118 km in length. These vital pipelines will significantly expand Saudi Aramco’s capabilities for delivering sales gas to power plants and petrochemical facilities throughout the Kingdom.
The pipeline sizes will vary, with the biggest diameter reaching 56 inches and extending over a distance greater than 1,000 km. The scope also includes EPC work for valve stations, metering systems, launcher and receiver stations, fiber optic cables as well as road and rail crossings.
Saudi KAD is already engaged in executing Saudi Aramco’s Onshore Maintain Potential Program. The four new contracts awarded under the Master Gas Program Phase II and the Fadhili Gas Program will further strengthen the existing relationship between Saudi KAD and Saudi Aramco.
Saudi KAD Chairman Ahmad Al-Jabr commented: “We are deeply honored by the trust placed in Saudi KAD by Saudi Aramco’s award of these strategic projects. It clearly demonstrates Saudi Aramco’s commitment toward supporting and growing national contractors for the greater benefit of our national economy. Saudi KAD will reciprocate this trust through meeting every commitment on the awarded projects, and continuing to pursue our aggressive localization agenda.”
Saudi KAD has announced that all aspects of these projects will be executed in Saudi Arabia, as further evidence of its commitment towards local investment. The engineering, procurement and construction will be performed totally in-Kingdom, thereby positioning Saudi KAD as the first fully-integrated Saudi EPC contractor.
